Are the lamps black or brown? The description reads bronze, but I am still puzzled by one of the comments.

The lamps almost look black, but they are not, they are a very dark brown. I have espresso end tables and the are darker then the tables.

The lamps are dark brown. Really pretty but if you're looking for black they wouldn't work at all. The shade is a very light taupe color- sort of off white with a soft brownish undertones not yellow.

There may be a difference between one batch of lamps on the finish to another; that I don't know, but the one I have is black with bronze accents, and the switch is at my eye level; which is about five feet. Didn't I answer this before with much the same answer? Hello again, if I did. I like it.

Ok, hard question! To me it looks black, however I will say when lit the black has a very dark brown undertone. If I had to say black or brown it would be black! Either color it is a beautiful light and I would recommend this purchase to anyone!!! Hoped that helped!

In the light, the table looks primarily black to me with hints of dark brown. Either way, I like it! Hope that helps.

I really cannot say for sure. They are heavy and are not plastic. The shade is a dark brown which was perfect for me. I have had so many compliments on these lamps. Really wanted something different and they have answered the call.

The table is very dark. It is described as brown and I guess that's what it is. However, it could also be described as a dull shade of black. In my courtyard, the furniture has a bronze (brown) tone and I have a shiny black piece of decorative artwork on the wall. The table color is between those two and looks great. I love the table. Pat

The lamp shade is brown. If you put a warm hue bulb in it, it will look like an brownish orange. If you put a cool hue bulb in it the shade looks completely brown.

No they are not black. A nice oil rubbed bronze. I bought 5 of them for my house. Adorable!

They are some sort of plaster or resin base. They are absolutely beautiful. The shades are definitely brown but are such a color that enhances the base. A red shade would definitely detract from the beauty of these lamps in my opinion, so I was very happy to see the shades in the lovely color of a dark cocoa. Purchase with confidence, you will not be disappointed.

I dont recall because I replaced the bulbs with LED lights. the lights that came with the lamp made the shade appear purple. the natural white led lights makes the shade appear as black

The color is a chocolate brown. Very beautiful, however does not give off a lot of light b/c of the fabric (almost felt like). We love the lamp, and the dimness is great if you are using it in a bedroom.

We actually own two of these lamps. One we purchased a couple of years ago at a Plow and Hearth store and that lamp is more grey than brown. The one we ordered from you just a couple of months ago is equally grey and brown. They are very nice lamps and are heavy if to be used outdoors where it could be windy.

I bought the oil rubbed bronze, which is very dark but not black. Looks good with other oil-rubbed bronze finishes in my space.

I bought mine last year and paid about $120.00 for 2 lamps. By the way, these lamps are beautiful and high quality. The lampshades are Brown, not red.

The one I ordered is Venetian bronze and it is dark brown. I don't know why they gave a discrepancy in titles, it should be one or the other. I love the one I ordered.

Hi Cheryl B.,The lamps are great. The pictures online are a excellant representation of what you actually get. I am very satisfied with my purchase. They actually look like a pair of very expensive antique metal lamps.
