Beautiful light fixture. The finish appeared somewhat lighter in color on line, almost verde. It is actually a slightly distressed very dark charcoal gray. There is a large glass globe that is surrounded by a metal cage which houses three light sockets. When changing the bulbs you have to take the top half of the metal cage off in order to then remove the glass globe for access to the lights. We have not had the fixture installed at this rate as we are waiting for the electrician.
