The Ariah mirror features a frame-less, free floating, tempered glass thatwas inspired by the French technique of Verre Eglomise in which artist's literally painted the back of clear glass so that when viewed from the front the painting is brought to life under the depth of the glass. This piece of beautiful tulips takes that same tempered glass and displays a beveled mirror in front of it. Two strong steel hangers are attached to the back of the mirror for a quick and easy horizontal installation.

What is the rule of thumb for sizing this square decorative mirror over a console or sofa?
Measuring a substantial 38 inches by 38 inches, this square mirror is an ideal "statement" piece. Design experts typically recommend that a wall mirror should be approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. This mirror's 38-inch width makes it a perfect anchor for a 5-foot or 6-foot console table, creating a balanced, high-end look in entryways or dining rooms.
How do I ensure this heavy mirror is hung safely on my wall?
For long-term security, this 38-inch mirror comes equipped with two heavy-duty steel hangers attached to the back. We recommend using high-quality wall anchors rated for the mirror's weight or, ideally, mounting at least one hanger directly into a wall stud. Because the hangers are configured for horizontal installation, ensure your wall measurements are level to maintain the symmetrical, square silhouette of the piece.
Is a frameless mirror like this a good choice for coastal homes or humid bathrooms?
This frameless, free-floating glass design is exceptionally well-suited for humid environments. Unlike mirrors with wood frames that can warp or metal frames that can corrode in salty coastal air, the tempered glass and steel mounting hardware of this piece are naturally more resistant to moisture. Its sleek, frameless edges also prevent steam and humidity from being trapped against the frame, which can lead to silvering deterioration over time.
What is the best way to clean a mirror with painted glass elements?
Based on our expertise with high-quality decorative glass, we recommend cleaning the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth and a small amount of ammonia-free glass cleaner or mild soap and water. Always apply the cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying the mirror directly to prevent liquid from seeping behind the beveled edges or the painted backing, which ensures the Verre Eglomise artwork remains pristine for years to come.
Is tempered glass safer than standard mirror glass for high-traffic areas?
Yes. This mirror is constructed with tempered glass, which is significantly more durable and impact-resistant than standard annealed glass. In the unlikely event of a break, tempered glass is designed to crumble into small, granular chunks rather than sharp shards, making it a much safer choice for homes with children, pets, or high-traffic hallways.
Can a floral design work in a strictly contemporary living space?
Absolutely. While floral designs are often associated with traditional decor, the frameless, beveled construction of this mirror provides a sharp, minimalist edge that fits perfectly in contemporary or "casual" modern homes. The multi-color tulip motif acts as a bridge, allowing you to pull vibrant accent colors from the mirror into your room's textiles, like rugs or throw pillows, while the glass surface maintains a clean, sophisticated atmosphere.
What makes the "Verre Eglomise" design on this mirror unique?
This mirror utilizes the French technique of Verre Eglomise, an artistic process where the floral design is painted directly onto the back of the clear, tempered glass. This method allows the vibrant tulips to be viewed through the depth of the glass, creating a "free-floating" effect that brings the artwork to life. This is further enhanced by a beveled mirror overlay, which adds architectural dimension and reflects more light than a flat-surface mirror.
