This traditional bathroom mirror pairs a generously detailed silver frame with a clear, undistorted glass panel — a combination that brings warmth and character to bathrooms, en-suites, and cloakrooms without feeling heavy-handed. A steady performer in our Wall Mirrors line-up, it is chosen repeatedly by customers looking for classic ornate detailing at a compact, room-friendly size.
Design & Materials
The frame is built from a hardwood core overlaid with casting resin, which allows for the crisp, deeply moulded detailing visible across every edge. Each corner features a generous acanthus-leaf cartouche with a raised central boss, while the rails between carry a fine beaded border that runs the full perimeter of the glass. The profile itself is swept — curving outward at the midpoint of each side — giving the piece a sculptural quality you might associate with antique silver framed wall mirrors found in period homes. A silver finish with subtle warm undertones catches the light softly rather than reading as cool chrome, making it easy to pair with brass taps, nickel hardware, or vintage wood wall mirror groupings on a gallery wall. In our experience, this tonal warmth is what makes silver-finished frames so adaptable across different décor palettes.
Size & Placement
At 76 cm tall and 66 cm wide (including the 6 cm frame), this is a compact rectangular silver wall mirror that sits comfortably above a standard bathroom vanity or pedestal basin. Hung in portrait orientation, it provides a practical head-and-shoulders reflection; switch to landscape and it becomes a smart overmantle or hallway piece. The overall depth of 5 cm keeps it close to the wall, so it won’t encroach on tight spaces — useful in smaller bathrooms or cloakrooms where every centimetre counts. Beyond the bathroom, we often suggest this for dressing areas, guest bedrooms, or narrow landings where a decorative wall mirror can open up the space and add light. The ornate styling also suits period living rooms and boutique hotel interiors, sitting naturally alongside antique decorative wall mirrors or vintage antique wall mirror arrangements.
Hanging & Installation
Four D-loops are pre-fitted to the back of the frame — two positioned for portrait hanging and two for landscape — so you can choose whichever orientation best suits your wall. Line up your wall screws with the centre of the corresponding D-loops, then hang the mirror directly onto them. Do not use string, wire, or chain. At 5 kg, this is straightforward for one person to lift and position, though a second pair of hands is always welcome for marking screw holes accurately. Wall screws and rawl plugs are not included; use fixings appropriate for your wall type, whether solid masonry, plasterboard, or stud partition.
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.
