I'm thinking it has a lacquered appearance, so the shininess (hilighting and
reflection) could actually be toned down some. That way it would have more
of a bare metal and tarnished look. And the color reminds me of bronze
instead of copper, probably because of its shiny newness which makes it not
look like older copper patina.

Interestingly, I just noticed, the shade globe support collar has closer to
a new penny color. Different from the other parts.

BTW, I love this rendering anyhow. Hope you'll continue to improve upon it.
For instance, lighting its wick at some time.
