The Meriel mirror is a frame-less, free floating, tempered glassthat was 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 jellyfish takes that same tempered glass and displays a beveled mirror in front of it. Four strong steel hangers are attached to the back of the mirror for quick and easy installation either vertically or horizontally.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Can this mirror be mounted both vertically and horizontally?
Yes, this mirror is designed for maximum versatility in your home. It comes equipped with four heavy-duty steel hangers pre-attached to the back, allowing you to securely mount it in either a vertical orientation—ideal for a full-body view—or a horizontal orientation to serve as a stunning architectural statement piece over a sofa or sideboard.
Is this 72-inch mirror suitable as a full-length dressing mirror?
Absolutely. Standing at 6 feet tall (72 inches), this mirror provides an expansive, head-to-toe reflection, making it a perfect functional addition to a primary bedroom or walk-in closet. Its generous height also helps to draw the eye upward, creating the illusion of taller ceilings and a more open, airy environment.
How does the frameless design benefit a smaller room or narrow hallway?
Frameless mirrors are a preferred choice for urban apartments or narrow entryways where space is at a premium. Because the reflective surface extends to the very edge without the visual interruption of a bulky frame, it maximizes light reflection and provides a "vanishing" effect that makes a confined area feel considerably wider and more expansive.
Is this mirror a good choice for high-humidity areas like a primary bathroom?
This mirror is well-suited for humid environments because it is frameless and utilizes a "free-floating" tempered glass construction. Unlike traditional wood-framed mirrors that can warp or crack when exposed to steam and moisture, the glass and steel hanging components are highly resistant to humidity. Additionally, because the artistic finish is protected behind the glass, it is shielded from the damp conditions common in coastal climates or bathrooms.
What is the "Verre Eglomisé" technique used in this mirror’s design?
This piece features a contemporary interpretation of Verre Eglomisé, a classic French technique where the reverse side of the glass is painted. In this design, the artistic dark blue motif—inspired by the fluid motion of a jellyfish—is applied to the back of the tempered glass. This creates a mesmerizing sense of depth and protects the artwork from surface scratches, ensuring the design remains vibrant and pristine over time.
What are the safety benefits of a tempered glass mirror?
This mirror is crafted from high-quality tempered glass, which is significantly stronger and more impact-resistant than standard plate glass. In the unlikely event that it is struck or broken, tempered glass is engineered to crumble into small, relatively harmless granular pieces rather than sharp, jagged shards. This makes it a safer and more durable choice for high-traffic areas, hallways, or homes with active children and pets.
What is the best way to clean and maintain this mirror?
To maintain the brilliant clarity and beveled edge of this piece, we recommend using a non-ammonia glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Because the artistic finish is applied to the back of the glass, you can safely clean the front surface without any risk of damaging the dark blue design. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the glass surface.
