Willemette Gold Mirror

To maintain the luster of the gold leaf finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or glass sprays directly on the frame. Based on our material care recommendations, you should lightly dust the iron frame with a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth. For the glass itself, apply a small amount of ammonia-free cleaner to a cloth first—rather than spraying the mirror directly—to prevent liquid from seeping behind the frame and damaging the silvering or the finish.

An arched mirror is an excellent choice for softening the sharp, linear lines often found in traditional or modern rooms. The curved "arch top" design creates a sense of architectural interest and can mimic the look of a window, which helps draw the eye upward and makes ceilings appear taller.

A common design guideline is that a mirror should be approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture it hangs above. With a width of 21 inches, this mirror is perfectly proportioned for accent tables or consoles ranging from 30 to 36 inches wide. This ensures the piece acts as a balanced focal point without overwhelming your existing furniture.

This mirror is crafted with a sturdy iron frame, providing exceptional structural integrity and weight that prevents warping. While iron is a high-durability material, we recommend regular dusting and maintaining a stable indoor environment in humid regions, like Florida or coastal Texas, to preserve the gold leaf finish. Our general care expertise suggests using a soft, dry cloth to prevent moisture from sitting on the metallic surface.

Vertical mirrors are a strategic tool for small-space living. Because this mirror stands 37 inches high, it captures and reflects more light from across the room, creating an illusion of depth. In narrow urban entryways, hanging a vertical piece like this can make a cramped hallway feel significantly more open and airy.

Since this is a wall-mounted item with an iron frame, safety is paramount. For the most secure installation, we recommend mounting the hardware directly into a wall stud. If a stud is not available in your desired location, use heavy-duty toggle bolts or specialized drywall anchors rated for the weight of the mirror to ensure it remains flush and stable against the wall.
