Is this polished nickel or chrome?

10 years ago

These bathroom sconces were listed by the etsy seller as polished chrome but they are inordinately warmer than my polished chrome fixtures. Luckily they're not right next to each other but the difference is still painfully noticeable to me. Am I crazy? could these be polished chrome? ps- the sconces have glass shades which i hadnt put up when i took thos photo.

The light fixture appears to be nickel while the fittings appear to be chrome.

I second that... the sconces look more like polished nickel to me also.

They look like polished nickel if you ask me.

I agree. Polished nickle has a gold undertone, chrome is brighter. BTW, there is nickel in the chrome plating, but not as much as polished nickle.

Sorry, I agree meant Chrome in the shower and possibly Nickle on the light. (Try not to mix them unless you have to...)
