The Nethercutt multi wall mirror was inspired by the French technique in which an artist 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 incredible piece takes that same tempered glass and displays a beveled mirror, centered in front of a beautiful green and gray abstract. Four strong steel hangers are attached to the back of the mirror for a quick and easy vertical or horizontal installation.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Does the design of this mirror serve as functional art?
Yes, this mirror is specifically designed as a statement piece that blends utility with fine art. It utilizes a sophisticated French reverse-glass painting technique where the abstract green and gray design is applied to the back of the tempered glass. This creates a unique sense of depth as the art is viewed through the glass itself, while the centered beveled mirror provides a crisp, functional reflection. This dual-purpose design makes it an ideal centerpiece for contemporary living rooms or dining areas.
What is the best way to clean the glass without damaging the abstract art?
Because the abstract design is applied using a reverse-painting technique on the back of the glass, the front surface is smooth and easy to maintain. Based on our general furniture care recommendations, you should dust the surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild glass cleaner applied directly to the cloth—rather than the glass—to prevent liquid from seeping behind the edges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads to preserve the clarity of the beveled mirror and the integrity of the finish.
How do I safely hang a heavy mirror on drywall?
Given its extra-large 28" x 54" dimensions and tempered glass construction, this mirror requires secure mounting. It comes equipped with four heavy-duty steel hangers attached to the back, allowing for both vertical and horizontal installation. For a safe and stable mount on drywall where a stud is unavailable, we recommend using professional-grade hardware such as toggle bolts or "molly" bolts, which are rated for higher weight capacities. Always ensure your wall anchors are compatible with the final weight of the piece to prevent damage.
Is this mirror a good choice for a small urban apartment?
Absolutely. In compact living spaces or narrow urban entryways, a large mirror is one of the most effective tools for making a room feel larger. By mounting this mirror vertically, you draw the eye upward, emphasizing ceiling height. Placing it opposite a window or a light source allows the beveled glass to capture and bounce natural light throughout the room, instantly brightening darker corners and creating an airy, open atmosphere.
Can I use this mirror in a humid environment like a bathroom?
This mirror is well-suited for various home environments due to its durable materials. It features tempered glass, which is stronger and more resilient than standard glass, and the abstract artwork is protected behind the glass layer, shielding it from direct surface moisture. While the steel hangers are robust, our care expertise suggests that in high-humidity areas, you should ensure the room is well-ventilated to protect the mirror's silvered backing and the steel components from long-term moisture exposure.
What size mirror should I choose to hang above a sofa or console table?
A common design guideline is to choose a mirror that is approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. For example, if this 54-inch wide mirror is mounted horizontally, it serves as a perfect anchor for a console or sofa between 70 and 80 inches long. At 54 inches tall when mounted vertically, this extra-large piece also works exceptionally well as a floor-to-ceiling focal point in entryways or narrow hallways, where it can create a powerful illusion of height and depth.
