Shabromat Gold Mirror

A professional design principle is to choose a mirror that is approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. At 30 inches wide, this mirror is an ideal scale for a standard 45- to 50-inch console or sofa table. Its deep metal band and substantial 1 1/4-inch beveled glass add significant visual weight, making it a sophisticated focal point that balances the furniture without overwhelming the wall space.

This mirror features a generous 1 1/4-inch bevel, which acts like a prism along the perimeter of the glass. Beyond adding a high-end, finished look, the beveled edge captures and refracts ambient light from various angles. This detail provides a layer of depth and architectural interest that is a hallmark of premium craftsmanship, making it particularly effective in transitional or traditional decor styles.

This mirror’s frame is constructed with a deep metal band, which offers superior resistance to warping compared to wood in high-moisture environments. While the metal structure is highly durable, we recommend placing gold-leaf finished items in well-ventilated areas. In humid coastal regions, maintaining proper indoor climate control will help protect the integrity of the gold leaf and prevent the silvering on the back of the glass from oxidizing over time.

Because this mirror features a sturdy metal frame and substantial glass, secure installation is critical for safety. It is designed for wall mounting, and we recommend anchoring the hardware directly into wall studs whenever possible. If your preferred placement does not align with a stud, use high-capacity heavy-duty toggle bolts or specialized anchors rated for the mirror’s weight to ensure it remains permanently and safely secured to the drywall.

Yes, this mirror is specifically engineered for versatile placement and can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. Hanging it vertically is an excellent strategy for urban apartments or rooms with lower ceilings, as it draws the eye upward to create a sense of height. Alternatively, a horizontal orientation is perfect for filling the wall space above a long sideboard or in a narrow hallway to reflect more light and create an illusion of greater width.

To preserve the delicate antiqued gold leaf finish on the deep metal frame, our experts recommend dusting regularly with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If a deeper clean is required, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, being careful to avoid any harsh chemical cleaners, glass cleaners with ammonia, or abrasives that could strip the hand-applied antiqued patina.
