Milligran Gold Mirror

To create a balanced and professional look, a mirror should typically be about two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the furniture below it. Measuring 41.25 inches in diameter, this large round mirror serves as a powerful focal point that grounds a room without overwhelming surrounding decor. Its substantial scale is ideal for placing above a standard-sized sofa or an entryway console to create a visually centered and intentional layout.

To preserve the rich antiqued gold leaf, our care experts recommend dusting the frame regularly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using water, harsh glass cleaners, or abrasive materials directly on the iron frame, as these can strip the delicate leafing. When cleaning the glass, apply a non-ammonia cleaner to a soft cloth first—rather than spraying the mirror directly—to prevent liquid from seeping into the beaded profile and behind the frame.

Round mirrors are a favorite design tool for opening up smaller living spaces. The circular silhouette "softens" the sharp linear angles common in apartments, creating a more organic and relaxed atmosphere. Furthermore, the generous 41.25-inch reflective surface of this mirror effectively bounces natural and artificial light into dim corners, making a narrow entryway or a compact living area appear brighter and significantly larger.

While the iron frame is inherently strong, the delicate antiqued gold leaf finish is best preserved in climate-controlled indoor environments. In high-humidity areas like poorly ventilated bathrooms or coastal homes with salt air, persistent moisture can potentially dull or affect the leafing over time. For these environments, we recommend ensuring the space is well-ventilated to protect the integrity and shine of the hand-finished frame.

This mirror is built with a high-quality iron frame, providing the structural integrity necessary for a piece of this scale. Unlike wood or synthetic materials, iron is exceptionally durable and resistant to warping, which ensures the mirror glass remains perfectly flat for a crisp, distortion-free reflection. The frame is finished with a sophisticated antiqued gold leaf, offering a hand-applied metallic luster that adds depth and a timeless quality to contemporary decor.

Given the sturdy iron construction and the significant dimensions of this mirror, secure installation is essential for safety. We highly recommend mounting the mirror directly into a wall stud. If a stud is not available in your desired placement, you must use heavy-duty wall anchors, such as toggle bolts or snap-toggles, that are specifically rated for the weight of large mirrors. Based on our expertise, using a level during installation is also critical to ensure the sophisticated beaded profile sits perfectly on your wall.
