Solonos Gold Mirror

This mirror is constructed with high-quality metal and a sturdy wood backing, materials that offer excellent durability. While the metal frame is resilient, we recommend ensuring your bathroom is well-ventilated to protect the vintage gold finish and wood backing from prolonged moisture exposure. For those in humid coastal regions, a regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth will help prevent the buildup of salt or moisture that can dull the antique gold luster over time.

The "Solonos" mirror features an intricate design of overlapping rectangles, a hallmark of Art Deco's geometric sophistication. To balance this vintage luxury look in a contemporary space, pair it with furniture that has clean, minimalist lines. It serves as a perfect focal point above a 60-inch console table or a mantel, where the antique gold finish can provide a warm, metallic contrast to neutral wall tones like charcoal, navy, or soft cream.

Safety is paramount when hanging a mirror of this size and construction. Because of the weight associated with the high-quality metal frame and solid wood backing, we strongly recommend locating wall studs for installation. If a stud is not available where you wish to center the mirror, utilize heavy-duty wall anchors such as toggle bolts or "Molly" bolts, which are specifically rated for the weight of larger decorative pieces. Always ensure your hanging hardware is compatible with the mounting brackets provided on the wood backing.

To maintain the exceptional clarity of the mirrored glass and the integrity of the antique gold finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sprays. Based on our expertise in furniture care, we recommend using a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with a mixture of mild soap and water for the frame. For the glass, apply a small amount of glass cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying the mirror directly; this prevents liquid from seeping behind the frame and potentially damaging the silvering or wood backing.

Measuring 32 inches wide by 44 inches tall, this substantial mirror is an ideal tool for creating the illusion of depth in compact spaces. By strategically placing a mirror of this scale opposite a window, you can maximize natural light and visually double the perceived square footage of a room. For narrow urban entryways, its vertical height helps draw the eye upward, making ceilings appear taller and the hallway feel more open.

For a balanced and professional look, a mirror should typically be about two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the furniture below it. With a width of 32 inches, this mirror is perfectly proportioned for smaller sofas, standard entry tables, or as a centered vertical element in a larger gallery wall. This scaling ensures the mirror anchors the space effectively without overwhelming the surrounding decor.
