Astonishing in its splendour, the Copplestone boasts a quintessential element of Gothic architecture: the Lancet cathedral window. As if gazing into a large gothic mirror, one’s eye is immediately drawn to its sublime form. Tall and slender, the window invokes a sense of verticality that beckons the viewer to look skyward, an invitation to ponder the celestial and the divine.
This emphasis on height, reminiscent of the towering spires of Gothic cathedrals, symbolizes our ever-constant aspiration towards the heavens. The Copplestone masterfully integrates the twin lancet grilles, gracefully descending from the arched area to intertwine with window segment grilles on either side.
Yet, the heart of the inner lancet remains unobstructed, the glass pane proudly exposed. This open design, like a large gothic mirror reflecting the world beyond, evokes a sense of unboundedness in the beholder, capturing the essence of the surrounding garden or indoor space in its entirety.

Colour & Finish
The frame is finished to look and feel like stone.
To create this stone effect the frame has been sandblasted to leave a mottled effect that is knobbled but not especially prickly to the touch. When running your hand across the frame, it feels akin to a coarse yet surprisingly smooth stone such as granite.
This rough, textured look and feel of the sandblasted surface adds a distinct, naturally aged quality to the piece, making it blend seamlessly with the organic surroundings of your garden.
The colours of the stone-like finish range in hues of sandy whites to warm creams.
Materials
The frame is made of steel for a hardy structure that won’t bend or bow when exposed to moisture or sunlight.
The reflective glass is frost protected so you can feel confident in leaving this mirror outdoors all year round without it cracking.
A plastic sheet board sits behind the mirror panel to keep it in place within the frame while helping to further protect it from both accidents and the elements.
Size
Coming in at 190 x 75 x 4 cm, this large gothic mirror can work well as a feature piece on a wall near your outdoor seating area.
You can also add a touch of glamour to your garden by placing it on your fence or shed.
A unique and eye-catching way to display this piece can be by hanging it on a tree.
If there’s one thing this piece can do well, it’s moving natural light into spaces that were previously without. So, we invite you to have fun and experiment with ways you could beam light into those shadier spots within your garden.
This piece can also work well indoors as a lean-to-wall.
Installation & Hanging Guidelines
This mirror will come with one, two, or three keyholes on the reverse of the metal frame, which can be used to hang it onto either screws or hooks.
To hang this mirror, attach it directly to wall screws (not supplied) that are equally spaced from the centre of the keyholes. DO NOT STRING.
Please note that screws and Rawl plugs are not included with this item.
We recommend using a competent trades person to install this mirror in a secure and safe manner. As when hung outside, strong winds can cause weak fastenings to come loose.
Similarly for the same reason, we do not recommend leaning this mirror against walls or trees outside without the frame being securely fastened in some way.
This mirror is not only confined to use within the outdoor realm, as it can also work well indoors hung on walls throughout your home.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Should the glass require cleaning, utilize a standard glass cleaning spray or a water/white-vinegar mixture spray, then wipe the glass using a lint-free, scratch-free cloth for a flawless, streak-free result.
When cleaning the frame, refrain from using bleach or harsh chemicals. Opt to wipe it with a slightly damp with water lint-free cloth.

A Poem For You
In the shadows of the ancient hall,
A large gothic mirror adorns the wall,
Its ornate frame and sombre grace,
Reflecting secrets in a quiet space.
Through the glass, the stories unveil,
Of kings and queens, and long-lost tales,
Where whispered words and furtive glances,
Reveal the truth, as time advances.
The large gothic mirror, like a portal to the past,
Shows fleeting moments, forever to last,
Ghosts of the ages, of sorrow and cheer,
Dance in the shimmer of this mystical sphere.
Oh, how the darkness embraces the light,
In the large gothic mirror’s eternal night,
The sun and moon, they rise and fall,
Bound by the beauty of the ancient hall.
In the stillness of time, the memories remain,
Preserved within this enchanted frame,
For the large gothic mirror, with its timeless allure,
Holds the key to stories, forever to endure.
