"While I like this, I think the photo could show the actual color of the piece a bit more realistically. (Love the photo.) The cherub, stationery, rosebud, and pages of the book look ivory to me here. The actual items are darker and remind of wax. The book and other parts that are gold lean toward a darker and almost copper color on my piece. I bought one for me and one for my sister. She likes hers, too."
