This antique silver wall mirror pairs a generously sized glass panel with a beautifully ornate frame, delivering the kind of decorative character that lifts an entire room. A steady performer in our Wall Mirrors line-up — chosen repeatedly by customers looking for traditional, ornate styling at a practical size.
Design & Materials
The frame is constructed from hardwood and casting resin, giving it a reassuringly solid weight. Each corner features a prominent cartouche-style boss surrounded by sweeping acanthus-leaf scrollwork, while the rails carry a gently curved, scalloped profile with subtler floral detailing. A fine beaded inner border runs the full perimeter, framing the clear glass with precision.
The finish is a warm, champagne-toned silver — not bright chrome but a softer, antique silver that carries subtle tonal variation across the moulding. Raised details catch the light differently from the smoother rails, creating depth. In our experience, this particular shade of silver antique finish sits comfortably alongside both cool grey palettes and warmer cream or gold schemes, making it one of the more versatile ornate frames we stock.
Size & Placement
At 107 cm tall and 76 cm wide (including the 6 cm frame), this rectangular silver wall mirror is large enough to make an impact without overwhelming a standard UK wall. Hung in portrait, it works beautifully above a console table in a hallway or over a bedroom chest of drawers. Flip it to landscape and it becomes an elegant overmantle mirror above a standard fireplace surround.
The vintage rectangular frame pairs naturally with period furniture but also creates a pleasing contrast in contemporary settings. With a flat bottom edge, this mirror can be leaned against a wall on a mantelpiece shelf or atop a sideboard for a more relaxed arrangement.
Hanging & Installation
This mirror arrives fitted with four D-loops on the back, positioned so you can hang it in either portrait or landscape orientation. Position your wall screws to align with the corresponding D-loop centres, then hang directly — no string, wire, or chain is needed or recommended. At 8 kg it is manageable solo, though a second pair of hands to hold the mirror while you mark fixing points makes the job easier.
Wall screws and rawl plugs are not included, so choose fixings rated for your wall type — standard rawl plugs for masonry, or appropriate hollow-wall anchors for plasterboard.
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.
