This large gold vintage mirror pairs a generous reflective surface with the kind of ornate, swept frame that instantly lifts a room. A steady performer in our Wall Mirrors line-up — chosen repeatedly by customers looking for traditional gold-framed elegance.
Design & Materials
The frame is built from hardwood and casting resin, finished in a warm, polished gold that catches the light beautifully. Each corner carries a raised acanthus-leaf cartouche, while smaller floral bosses punctuate the mid-points of each rail — details you can trace with your fingertip. A fine beaded moulding runs along the inner edge, framing the clear mirror glass with a neat, structured border. The profile is gently swept, curving outward from the glass to give the frame real depth — roughly 5 cm from wall to front face. In our experience, this style of ornate gold wall mirror sits comfortably alongside both antique furniture and more contemporary pieces, because the gold tone is rich without being brassy.
Size & Placement
At 137 cm tall and 107 cm wide, this is a large ornate gold mirror that commands attention without overwhelming a standard UK room. Hung portrait above a console table in a hallway, it creates a striking focal point and bounces light back toward the entrance. In a living room, we often suggest positioning it landscape above a sofa or sideboard — the proportions align well with furniture between 150 and 180 cm wide. It also works beautifully as a decorative wall mirror in gold above a dining table, where the reflections double candlelight and tableware. Because the frame has a flat bottom edge, you can lean it against a wall on a solid floor if you prefer the relaxed, contemporary look of a large gold mirror propped at floor level.
Hanging & Installation
Four D-loops are pre-fitted to the back of the frame — two set for portrait hanging, two for landscape — so you can choose your orientation without additional hardware. Position your wall screws to align with the centre of the corresponding D-loops and hang the mirror directly; do not use string, wire, or chain. At 11 kg, this is a manageable weight for two people to lift into place. For plasterboard or stud walls, use fixings rated for the wall type — rawl plugs and screws are not included. On solid masonry, standard wall plugs and screws will hold comfortably.
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.
