This small ornate silver mirror brings classical detail to compact wall spaces, pairing a richly carved baroque frame with a warm, brushed silver finish that catches the light without overpowering the room. A steady performer in our Wall Mirrors line-up — chosen repeatedly by customers looking for traditional character at a manageable size.
Design & Materials
The frame is built on a hardwood core overlaid with casting resin, allowing the ornate moulding to hold crisp acanthus-leaf scrolls, shell motifs, and delicate beaded inner borders. In our experience, this combination of materials gives you the visual weight of a period frame without the fragility of solid plaster or gilded softwood. The silver finish has a subtle brushed quality — slightly warm rather than chrome-bright — that pairs naturally with antique-style furnishings, grey tones, and muted metallics. The mirror glass is clear and unembellished, providing a clean contrast to the decorative surround.
Size & Placement
At 66 cm tall and 56 cm wide, this silver ornate wall mirror is compact enough for spaces where a larger piece would overwhelm — think the wall above a hallway console, a cloakroom, or a narrow landing. The frame adds roughly 6 cm on each side, so allow around 68 cm of clear wall width for a comfortable fit. Because it can hang in either portrait or landscape orientation, you have flexibility: portrait emphasises height over a slim table; landscape works well as a small vintage wall mirror above a fireplace shelf or bathroom vanity. The flat bottom also means you can lean it against a wall on a deep shelf or mantelpiece if you prefer not to drill. Customers tend to pair this with other antique-finish accessories — candlesticks, picture frames, or a second rectangular silver wall mirror of a different size — to create a layered, collected look.
Hanging & Installation
Four D-loops are pre-fitted to the back of the frame, positioned to support both portrait and landscape hanging. Simply align your wall screws with the corresponding loops and hang the mirror directly — no wire or chain is needed. At 5 kg, the mirror is straightforward for one person to lift into position, but having a second pair of hands to mark your screw points is always helpful. Wall screws and rawl plugs are not included, so choose fixings rated for your wall type: standard plugs for masonry, or specialist plasterboard anchors for stud walls.
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.
