Shira Purple Mirror

At 72 inches tall, this oversized mirror is an exceptional tool for expanding the visual footprint of a room. For smaller urban apartments or narrow entryways, mounting this mirror vertically can draw the eye upward, emphasizing ceiling height while reflecting natural light to brighten the space. The frameless, "free-floating" design is particularly effective in compact areas, as it adds significant depth without the visual bulk of a traditional heavy frame.

Inspired by the historic French "Verre Eglomise" method, the abstract artwork is literally painted onto the back of the clear tempered glass. This allows the vibrant purple and red tones to be viewed through the depth of the glass, which brings the colors to life with a unique, luminous quality while protecting the pigment from surface wear. By combining this artistic technique with a functional beveled mirror, the piece serves as both a reflection tool and a contemporary work of art.

This mirror is engineered for both durability and aesthetic sophistication. The use of tempered glass provides a significant safety advantage; it is much stronger than standard glass and is designed to break into small, blunt granules rather than sharp shards if impacted. The beveled mirror overlay adds a layer of elegant detail, catching and refracting light at the edges to create a polished, high-end look that complements the contemporary abstract art backing.

Because this mirror measures 36" x 72" and utilizes substantial tempered glass, it is a significant piece that requires secure mounting. The included steel hangers are designed for stability, but for the safest installation—especially in homes with high traffic or pets—we recommend using heavy-duty wall anchors rated for the mirror's weight or mounting the hardware directly into wall studs. This ensures the "free-floating" aesthetic is maintained securely over time.

While the frameless design and tempered glass construction are naturally more resistant to moisture than wood-framed mirrors, this piece is primarily designed as a decorative accent for living spaces, bedrooms, or entryways. To preserve the intricate Verre Eglomise artwork on the back, we recommend placement in climate-controlled environments. Based on our material expertise, we suggest cleaning the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth and a standard glass cleaner, being careful not to allow liquid to sit at the edges where it could potentially reach the backing.

The four heavy-duty steel hangers attached to the back allow for flexible installation based on your room's architecture. Hanging it vertically is ideal for bedrooms or dressing areas to provide a full-length reflection and create a sense of height. Conversely, mounting it horizontally above a long sofa or a 60-inch console table can make a wide wall feel more expansive and balanced, serving as a stunning alternative to traditional framed canvas art.
