Actual item not very bright but appears darker

I was excited to get these boxes. When I received them, the quality was disappointing. The boxes had black splatter from the black paint on the inside of the box. It looks like they painted the inside after applying the mother of pearl on the outside. The mother of pearl was beautiful, but the black spots were not so I returned these boxes.

Love in our Coastal living room. First piece we purchased

We love these beautiful mother of pearl in layer decorative boxes. They have a home in the entry for all our little articles! Great quality inside and out. We highly recommend these!!!

Perfect for my living room. Added the right touch to complete table accessories.
