Ballyhaunis Silver Mirror

Beveled edges serve both a decorative and functional purpose; the angled glass acts as a prism, catching and refracting light to add depth and a touch of traditional elegance. The plated silver finish provides a sophisticated, high-clarity reflective quality that complements both classic and transitional decor styles effortlessly.

Given this mirror's 46-inch height and quality construction, secure installation is paramount for safety. We recommend using heavy-duty wall anchors or toggle bolts specifically rated for the mirror’s weight, or ideally, mounting directly into wall studs. Our experts suggest using a level during installation to ensure the rectangular frame maintains its clean, traditional lines.

While this mirror adds a beautiful traditional touch, the plated silver finish is best suited for well-ventilated spaces. In high-humidity environments or coastal homes, ensure the room has proper airflow to prevent moisture from affecting the plating. Based on our expertise with these materials, we recommend wiping the frame dry after heavy steam exposure to maintain its luster and prevent long-term wear.

Yes. A substantial vertical mirror—standing 46 inches tall—is an excellent tool for small-space living. By reflecting open areas and light, it creates the illusion of a deeper, more airy room. For maximum impact in a compact city apartment, we recommend placing it opposite a window to draw natural light further into the living area, effectively acting as a "second window."

To preserve the plated silver finish, our care recommendations suggest dusting the frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth. When cleaning the glass, apply glass cleaner directly to a cloth rather than the mirror itself. This prevents liquid from seeping behind the beveled edges or resting on the frame, which can protect the finish and the silvering from damage over time.

A common design rule is to choose a mirror that is approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. Measuring 36 inches wide, this mirror is perfectly scaled to anchor a 50-to-60-inch console table or dresser. This proportion creates a balanced, authoritative look that grounds the room's decor in an entryway or bedroom.
