Yaishis Gold Wall Mirror

This mirror is crafted with hand-forged iron rods and finished in a lightly antiqued gold leaf. While iron is a durable and robust material, we recommend placing it in well-ventilated areas if used in high-moisture environments like a bathroom or a coastal home. The antiqued gold leaf finish provides an added layer of protection, but to maintain the luster and prevent oxidation in humid climates, our experts suggest wiping the frame with a dry, soft cloth regularly to remove any salt or moisture buildup.

Due to the solid iron construction, this mirror carries more weight than standard plastic-framed alternatives. For a safe and secure installation, we strongly recommend identifying a wall stud and using a heavy-duty screw or a specialized mirror-hanging bracket rated for at least 30 lbs. If a stud is not available in your desired location, use high-quality toggle bolts or professional-grade drywall anchors. Ensuring a flush mount against the wall is essential for both safety and maintaining the sleek 0.75-inch depth profile.

To achieve a balanced look, we recommend following the "two-thirds" rule of design: a mirror should typically measure about two-thirds the width of the furniture piece it hangs above, such as a console table or sofa. With a 36-inch diameter, this mirror is perfectly scaled to anchor a medium-sized entryway table or a standard 60-inch dresser. Its generous 1 1/4-inch bevel also adds significant visual depth, making it a strong focal point that commands attention without overwhelming the space.

In contemporary or industrial-modern spaces where clean lines and sharp angles often dominate, a round mirror serves to "soften" the environment. The hand-forged iron rods of this specific mirror create a wavy, organic texture that breaks up the rigidity of flat walls and rectangular furniture. This contrast creates a more layered and inviting aesthetic, effectively bridging the gap between industrial metalwork and elegant home decor.

Yes, mirrors are an essential tool for urban apartment living or smaller rooms with limited natural light. This mirror features a premium 1 1/4-inch bevel, which acts like a prism to catch and refract light from different angles. By placing this mirror opposite a window or near a light source, you can significantly brighten a dim entryway and create the optical illusion of a much larger, more open living area.

Because of the unique alternating wavy texture created by the layered iron rods, dust can occasionally settle in the grooves. Based on our material care expertise, we recommend using a soft-bristled brush or a microfiber cloth to dust the frame regularly. For deeper cleaning of the glass, apply a small amount of glass cleaner to a cloth first rather than spraying the mirror directly; this prevents liquid from seeping behind the beveled edge or sitting on the gold leaf finish, which could damage the antiqued effect over time.
