Your area_light show some artifacts. look like you are using adaptive 
with a to low value, try 1 or 2 with an area_light at least 5 (for 
adaptive 1) or 9 (for adaptive 2). I commonly use area_light of 17*17, 
sometimes even more, with adaptive 0 or 1 for extra smooth shadows and 
fast renders.
Ex.: area_light x*2, y*2, 17, 17 adaptive 1 circular orient jitter 
//with those values jitter is less usefull
Some variable reflection, along with fresnel can be nice. Don't forget 
to add a "dummy" interior with an ior value if you use fresnel.
Put some small, possibly randomized, rotation on the textures. The grain 
is to parallel to the sides.
Take what you like, discard the rest.
