The Toriel mirror is a frame-less, free floating, tempered glassthat was inspired by the French technique of Verre Eglomise in which artist's literally 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 piece of a black and gold abstract takes that same tempered glass and displays a beveled mirror in front of it. Two strong steel hangers are attached to the back of the mirror for quick and easy vertical installation.

How can a tall vertical mirror benefit a narrow urban apartment?
In compact urban living spaces, a large vertical mirror is a strategic tool for opening up a room. Placing a 72-inch tall mirror in a narrow entryway or across from a window maximizes natural light reflection, instantly making a confined area feel more expansive and airy. The frameless, contemporary design is particularly well-suited for modern apartments, providing a sleek, "floating" aesthetic that doesn't add unnecessary bulk to the wall.
How do I choose the right size decorative mirror for my living room?
When selecting a mirror, a common design principle is to choose a piece that is approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture it sits above, such as a sofa or console. At 36 inches wide and 72 inches tall, this large rectangular mirror is designed to make a significant visual impact. Its impressive six-foot height makes it an ideal choice for leaning against a wall as a full-length floor mirror or mounting vertically to draw the eye upward and create the illusion of higher ceilings.
What is the benefit of a beveled mirror design?
This mirror features a beveled edge, which means the glass has been cut at an angle around the perimeter. This creates a framed look without the need for a physical frame, adding a touch of traditional elegance to its contemporary abstract design. The beveling also acts as a prism, catching and refracting light to add extra depth and shimmer to your wall decor.
Is this mirror safe for a busy home with children or pets?
Yes, safety and durability are central to this design. This mirror is crafted from tempered glass, which is significantly stronger than standard glass and designed to resist breakage. Furthermore, the "free-floating" design means the abstract artwork is literally painted on the back of the glass using a technique inspired by French Verre Eglomise. This protects the art from surface scratches and ensures the decorative element remains pristine even in high-traffic areas.
What is the best way to clean a mirror with abstract glass art?
Because the abstract black and gold design is protected behind the tempered glass, you can maintain the piece's clarity without worrying about damaging the artwork. Based on our expert care recommendations, you should dust the surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild glass cleaner or a mixture of water and a light detergent applied to the cloth rather than directly onto the mirror. Avoid harsh chemical solvents or abrasive pads to preserve the beveled edge and glass finish.
How do I securely install a large, heavy mirror on my wall?
For a secure and level vertical installation, this mirror comes equipped with two high-strength steel hangers attached to the back. Given its 72-inch height, we strongly recommend identifying wall studs for mounting to ensure the weight is properly supported. If studs are unavailable in your desired location, utilize heavy-duty toggle bolts or anchors specifically rated for the mirror's weight to ensure long-term stability and safety.
