The Foreson blue wall mirror was inspired by the French technique in which an artist 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 incredible piece takes that same tempered glass and displays a beveled mirror, centered in front of a beautiful blue, black and white abstract. Four strong steel hangers are attached to the back of the mirror for a quick and easy vertical or horizontal installation.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Is a mirror with this type of glass construction safe for high-traffic entryways?
This mirror is built using tempered glass, which is significantly more durable and impact-resistant than standard glass. A key safety benefit of tempered glass is that if it were to break, it shatters into small, granular chunks rather than sharp, dangerous shards. This makes it an ideal, high-durability choice for busy hallways or homes with children and pets where safety is a top priority.
Can this abstract mirror be mounted horizontally as well as vertically?
Yes. To offer maximum design flexibility, this piece comes equipped with four heavy-duty steel hangers pre-attached to the back. This allows you to mount the mirror vertically to create the illusion of higher ceilings or horizontally to visually expand the width of a narrow space, such as a foyer or dining room wall.
What is the best way to clean and maintain the finish on this mirror?
To preserve the clarity of the beveled edges and the vibrancy of the painted backing, we recommend using a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Based on our expertise with high-end glass pieces, it is best to apply the cleaner directly to the cloth rather than the mirror itself; this prevents moisture from potentially seeping into the beveled seams, ensuring the internal artwork remains pristine for years to come.
How do I determine if this extra-large mirror is the right size for my wall?
Measuring 54 inches in height, this mirror is designed to serve as a dramatic focal point. Our design experts suggest that a mirror of this scale works best when it covers approximately two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the furniture below it, such as a sideboard or console. For vertical installation, aim to place the center of the glass at eye level—roughly 60 inches from the floor—to anchor the room effectively.
What decor styles and environments does the blue abstract design best suit?
While the clean lines and abstract pattern are distinctly contemporary, the cool blue and white tones make this mirror a perfect addition to coastal or nautical-inspired interiors. The use of tempered glass and steel hardware also makes this a resilient choice for various climates, providing a more stable alternative to traditional wood-framed mirrors which can be more sensitive to environmental changes.
How does the "French technique" used in this mirror affect its appearance?
This mirror features an artistic approach inspired by a French technique where the abstract blue, black, and white design is painted on the back of the tempered glass. This creates a stunning sense of depth and luminosity, as the colors are viewed through the thickness of the glass itself. The centered beveled mirror adds another layer of dimension, allowing the piece to function as both a practical looking glass and a sophisticated work of wall art.
