The Navira mirror is a free floating, tempered glass thatwas 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 a beautiful colorful abstract 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 a quick and easy vertical or horizontal installation.

What is the Verre Eglomise technique, and how does it affect the look of the piece?
Verre Eglomise is a sophisticated French technique where the artist paints directly onto the back of the glass. Because the colorful abstract design is viewed through the depth of the tempered glass, the colors are brought to life with a unique luminosity and protection. By placing a beveled mirror in front of this painted glass, the piece gains a layered, three-dimensional quality that elevates it from a simple reflective surface to a work of fine art.
What makes tempered glass a better choice for a large wall mirror?
This mirror is crafted with tempered glass, which is significantly more durable and safer than standard glass. The tempering process involves controlled thermal treatments that increase its strength, allowing it to withstand more impact. In the rare event of breakage, tempered glass is designed to crumble into small, granular chunks rather than sharp shards, making it a safer, authoritative choice for high-traffic areas or homes with active pets and children.
What is the best way to clean and maintain a mirror with beveled edges and a painted backing?
To preserve the clarity of the beveled glass and the integrity of the back-painted design, our care guidelines recommend dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For smudges, use a mixture of mild soap and warm water rather than harsh chemical cleaners. For best results, apply the cleaner to the cloth first rather than spraying the glass directly; this prevents moisture from seeping into the beveled edges or behind the floating glass.
Is this mirror designed to be hung horizontally over a dresser or sofa?
Yes. While its 72-inch height makes it a stunning vertical full-length mirror, it is fully equipped for horizontal installation. The back features four strong steel hangers that allow for a quick and secure mount as a 6-foot wide statement piece. This horizontal orientation is particularly effective for grounding a large sofa or filling the wall space above a long dining room sideboard.
How does this mirror hold up in humid or coastal climates?
This piece is exceptionally well-suited for humid or coastal environments. Unlike wood-framed mirrors that may warp or expand with moisture, the frameless tempered glass design and steel hanging hardware are highly resistant to environmental changes. The back-painted technique also protects the artistic design from the air, ensuring the abstract colors remain vibrant even in damp or coastal air.
Does this mirror require professional installation?
While the mirror features four strong steel hangers for a quick installation, its 72-inch scale makes it a substantial and heavy item. To ensure safety and long-term stability, we recommend mounting the hangers directly into wall studs or using heavy-duty wall anchors specifically rated for the weight of oversized glass decor. This is particularly important for standard drywall installations to prevent any shifting over time.
How can an oversized 72-inch mirror improve a small living space or urban apartment?
An oversized mirror is a powerful design tool for visual expansion. At six feet tall, this piece creates a "window effect" that reflects light and sightlines, making even a compact urban layout feel much larger and more open. For the best result in smaller apartments, strategically place the mirror opposite a natural light source to maximize brightness and create an airy, sophisticated atmosphere.
