Nelle Brass Mirror

To maintain visual balance, a mirror should typically be about two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the furniture below it. Measuring 24 inches wide, this arched mirror is at an ideal scale for pairing with standard entryway tables, narrow consoles, or 36-inch wide accent dressers. These proportions ensure the mirror anchors the wall space effectively without overwhelming the furniture piece.

Yes, an arched mirror is a strategic design choice for smaller living spaces. Its 40-inch height draws the eye upward, emphasizing vertical space and creating the illusion of higher ceilings. The contemporary arch shape acts as a "visual window"; when placed opposite a window or lamp, it reflects ambient light throughout the room, making narrow entryways or compact dining areas feel significantly brighter and more open.

A floating design is a premium contemporary feature where the mirror glass is slightly recessed, creating a sophisticated three-dimensional effect and added depth on the wall. This is paired with a polished edge on the glass, which provides a smooth, refined transition to the brass frame. This combination eliminates the heavy, boxed-in look of traditional frames, offering a sleeker and more minimalist aesthetic.

The Nelle mirror is exceptionally well-suited for high-humidity environments. It is crafted with a high-quality stainless steel frame, a material highly recommended for coastal regions due to its inherent resistance to rust and corrosion. The brass-plated finish provides an additional layer of protection, while the floating polished edge of the glass is designed to resist the moisture damage often seen in lower-quality mirrors.

For a tall, wall-mounted mirror with a solid stainless steel frame, secure installation is a priority. We recommend locating a wall stud for at least one mounting point to ensure maximum stability. If a stud is not available in your desired placement, utilize heavy-duty wall anchors, such as toggle bolts or snap toggles, that are specifically rated for the weight of a 40-inch tall mirror. Always use a level during installation to maintain the clean, contemporary lines of the arch.

To preserve the integrity of the brass-plated finish, we recommend dusting the frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Based on our expert care guidelines, you should avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads that can dull the metallic polish. For the glass, use a dedicated mirror cleaner or a mild vinegar-and-water solution applied to a cloth first rather than sprayed directly onto the frame to prevent liquid from seeping behind the polished edges.
