Industrial Vintage Ornate Rectangular Wall Mirror

A rectangular wall mirror gives a room structure in a way rounder shapes cannot. This one pairs an ornate vintage frame with a straight, industrial outline, so it carries detail and discipline at the same time. The result works against exposed brick and against smooth painted plaster equally well. It has enough presence to hold a wall alone, which makes it a useful answer for the large blank surfaces that most homes have at least one of and never quite know how to fill.

• Rectangular profile with an ornate vintage frame
• Industrial-leaning finish that avoids fussiness
• Clear, distortion-free glass with a bright reflection
• Hangs in portrait or landscape orientation
• Pre-fitted rear hardware for flat mounting

Above a mantel, centre it and let the frame do the talking. A single row of candles beneath is all the styling it needs, and the reflected firelight in the evening gives the whole room a warmth that overhead lighting simply cannot produce.

In a dining room, hang it on the long wall opposite the window. Daylight travels across the glass and down onto the table, which lifts an interior room that would otherwise feel dim through the middle of the afternoon.

In a hallway, mount it in landscape orientation along the widest stretch. The horizontal line stretches the corridor visually, and the ornate frame turns a pass-through space into somewhere with a little character of its own.

In a living room, hang it behind a console and layer a lamp and a leafy stem in front. The detailed frame reads beautifully through foliage, and the depth makes a flat wall feel like it has genuine dimension.

In a home office, place it on the wall beside the desk rather than behind it. Glancing sideways into a mirror is restful, and the vintage frame softens the practical, rather plain equipment that offices tend to accumulate.

In a bedroom, hang it above a low chest of drawers and keep the surface beneath nearly bare. The frame carries the detail, so a single tray and one small stem finish the arrangement without crowding it.

Clean the glass with a soft cloth and glass spray applied to the cloth. Dust the ornate frame with a dry brush so the detailing keeps its depth and shadow.

Bring this into your space.
