This large antique silver mirror pairs a generous reflective surface with richly detailed frame mouldings, giving any room an immediate lift of traditional character. A steady performer in our Wall Mirrors line-up — chosen repeatedly by customers looking for vintage-inspired elegance at an accessible price.
Design & Materials
The frame is built on a hardwood core with casting-resin ornamentation, finished in a warm champagne-silver tone that sits somewhere between bright silver and antique gold. Each corner carries a pronounced acanthus-leaf cartouche with a raised centre boss, while the mid-rails feature smaller floral motifs and a continuous beaded inner trim. The profile is substantial — roughly 6 cm wide — giving the frame real presence on the wall. In our experience, this kind of ornate silver mirror reads as antique without the weight or fragility of a genuine period piece, and the slightly burnished finish helps it blend with both cool grey schemes and warmer neutral palettes. The glass itself is clear and unembellished, keeping the focus on the decorative frame.
Size & Placement
At 137 cm tall and 46 cm wide, this is a slim, tall-format mirror when hung in portrait — a shape we reach for when a room needs vertical drama without eating into wall space. Portrait orientation works especially well in narrow hallways, between windows in a living room, or on a landing. Flip it to landscape at 46 cm × 137 cm and it becomes a strong overmantle or console-table mirror, stretching wide enough to anchor a sideboard or fireplace wall. The flat bottom edge also means you can lean it upright against a wall or rest it on a mantelpiece for a relaxed, layered look. If you already have warm metallics in the room — brushed brass hardware, gold photo frames — this ornate large silver mirror will complement without clashing, thanks to its champagne undertone.
Hanging & Installation
The mirror arrives fitted with four D-loops on the back of the frame, positioned so you can hang it in either portrait or landscape without re-fitting hardware. Simply align your wall screws with the centre of each D-loop and hang the mirror directly — do not use string, wire, or chain. At 10 kg this is a manageable weight for wall mounting, though we recommend a second pair of hands to hold it steady while you mark your fixings. Wall screws and rawl plugs are not included, so choose fixings appropriate for your wall type — solid masonry, plasterboard, or stud.
For a clean, flush-wall finish, we recommend pairing this mirror with our heavy-duty mirror fittings kit — a hook-and-loop back-plate system designed to sit flat against solid frames.
