Nethercutt Multi Wall Mirror

This piece is constructed using tempered glass, which is significantly stronger and more impact-resistant than standard mirror glass. In the unlikely event of a break, tempered glass is designed to crumble into small, granular chunks rather than sharp shards, providing an extra layer of safety for busy households or hallways where accidental bumps may occur.

The design is inspired by Verre Églomisé, a classic French technique where the artist applies paint directly to the back of the glass. By painting the reverse side, the depth of the tempered glass creates a luminous, three-dimensional effect for the green and gray abstract patterns. This method also protects the artwork from surface scratches and environmental wear, as the pigment is sealed behind the glass.

Yes, this mirror is designed for maximum versatility. It features four heavy-duty steel hangers securely attached to the back, allowing you to easily mount it either vertically or horizontally. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for varying wall spaces, whether you need to add height to a narrow entryway or width above a living room sofa.

For a balanced look, designers typically recommend that a mirror should be approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture it sits above. At 30 inches wide, this mirror is a perfect fit for entry tables or dressers ranging from 45 to 50 inches in width. Its 40-inch height also makes it a powerful focal point for rooms with standard or vaulted ceilings, helping to reflect light and create the illusion of a larger space.

While the tempered glass and steel hangers are highly durable, this mirror is primarily designed as a decorative accent for dry living spaces. In high-humidity environments like a bathroom or a coastal home without climate control, consistent moisture can eventually affect the artist's paint on the reverse side of the glass. For the longest lifespan, we recommend placing it in living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways where humidity levels are stable.

To preserve the clarity of the glass and the integrity of the back-painted design, we recommend dusting the surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, our care guidelines suggest using a mild soap and water solution or a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Always apply the cleaner to the cloth first rather than spraying the mirror directly to prevent moisture from seeping behind the beveled edges.
