Mountrose Gray Large Mirror

To achieve a balanced look, we recommend following the "two-thirds" rule: your mirror should be approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. This rectangular mirror, measuring 26 inches wide, is perfectly scaled for a standard 40- to 60-inch console or dresser. Its 48-inch height also makes it a powerful vertical anchor that helps center the room's aesthetic.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend dusting the frame regularly with a clean, soft cloth to prevent buildup in the beaded grooves. For the glass, use a mild cleaner applied directly to the cloth—not the mirror—to ensure no liquid seeps behind the frame or into the antique finish, which can cause damage over time. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could mar the gray finish.

With its gray frame finish and beaded detailing, this mirror is designed to enhance contemporary and transitional environments. The beaded texture adds a layer of sophisticated detail that bridges the gap between modern minimalism and classic elegance, making it a versatile choice for upscale bedrooms or formal dining spaces.

Given its 48-inch height and large scale, secure installation is essential for safety. This mirror is designed for wall mounting; we recommend locating a wall stud with a stud finder and using heavy-duty hardware rated for the item's weight. For installations on drywall where a stud is not available, high-quality toggle bolts or specialized wall anchors should be used to ensure the piece remains firmly in place.

While this mirror is a beautiful contemporary accent, caution should be used in high-humidity environments. Persistent moisture can eventually affect the antique mirror finish and the integrity of the frame's gray finish. For use in bathrooms or coastal areas, we recommend ensuring the space is exceptionally well-ventilated to protect the beaded detailing and prevent the silvering from developing spots over time.

Yes, a large vertical mirror is one of the most effective tools for opening up confined spaces. At 48 inches tall, this piece creates a significant reflective surface that bounces both natural and artificial light deeper into a room. This "window effect" can make a narrow entryway or small living area feel significantly brighter and more expansive.
