Westerhal Black Mirror

This piece features a generous 1 1/4-inch bevel. A beveled edge is a hallmark of high-quality mirror craftsmanship, where the glass is cut and polished at an angle around the perimeter. This not only creates a sophisticated, framed look within the glass itself but also acts as a prism, catching and refracting light to add depth and a touch of elegance that flat-glass mirrors lack.

To maintain the handcrafted look of the frame, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning of the mirror glass, use a standard glass cleaner, but apply it to a cloth first rather than spraying the mirror directly to avoid moisture seeping behind the frame. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasives on the iron, as these can damage the specialized distressed finish.

A common professional design rule is to choose a mirror that is approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture it hangs over, such as a console table or sofa. This mirror, measuring 30.3 inches by 40.2 inches, is ideally scaled to serve as a significant focal point in entryways or as a vertical accent in a bedroom. Its rectangular shape and substantial iron frame provide a weighted, intentional look that anchors a blank wall without overwhelming the space.

Yes, this mirror is designed for versatile wall mounting and can be hung in either a horizontal or vertical orientation. This flexibility allows you to adapt the piece to your specific layout needs—hanging it vertically to add perceived height to a room, or horizontally to reflect more light across a wider area, such as above a dining room sideboard.

This mirror features a handcrafted solid iron frame, a material favored for its exceptional strength and structural integrity. The frame is finished in a distressed deep ebony, which provides a protective layer; however, in high-humidity environments like bathrooms or coastal regions, we recommend ensuring the room is well-ventilated to preserve the iron's finish. Based on our material expertise, solid metal frames offer a much higher level of stability and resistance to warping compared to standard wood or MDF alternatives.

With its handcrafted iron construction and distressed finish, this mirror is a perfect fit for Industrial or Contemporary decor styles. The deep ebony finish provides a bold contrast against light-colored or neutral walls, while the metallic texture complements other raw materials like reclaimed wood, exposed brick, or concrete. It serves as an excellent "bridge" piece for homeowners looking to add a modern, slightly edgy touch to a traditional space.
