I would choose matte for an interior light, but for the exterior – against all that “matte” brick – you need a little bling. Porcelain black will be gorgeous.

What about one or some of those copper lights on the exposed side of the building? They’re beautiful, but not as good as the chain and black for the front.

Black porcelain with chain. Durable, unique, and classic looking. The copper is trying a little too hard and a little too feminine for the Merc. Fun following along your journey.

Raw copper ftw. It will develop a natural gorgeous patina over time.

I was leaning chain with matte black but after someone brought up the patina of the copper I think it’s the way to go. It also seems more like your personality.

Black porcelain and chain gets my vote! So beautiful. I am usually a sucker for copper, but not in this application. I think it would lose its punch over time, unlike the classic shine of the black porcelain.

The chain adds interest. Black porcelain is the way to go. Have old porcelain barn lights all over the farm and they hold up beautifully. I love copper, but I think it wouldn’t stand out enough.
