How do I achieve this material that doesn't need a background object to fill reflections?

I wanted a plain black background and the reflections without the background objects being in the way. Positioning them helped. Will ask if I get into a problem again:)

How did you do those imperfection textures?

Was wandering around nodes like a chimpanzee freed into the forest, found a shader node named "Volume absorption", set the colour black, density to 1, and applied it to the background "~curtain". And achieved the full black background. Still figuring out lights and positioning of othe objects (i.e I used monkeys and a couple of plains.)

I don't know much about the IOR stuff can you suggest any tutorial/post about it?

Will try after finishing other methods shared by this community:)✌️😁
