The elongated oval form provides full-length reflection suitable for hallways, dressing areas and bedroom walls where both function and proportion matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for vertical installation as a leaner or wall-mounted mirror, the Aries works in entrance halls to check appearance before leaving, alongside wardrobes in bedrooms, or in bathrooms with sufficient wall space. The bevelled glass edge catches light at an angle, adding subtle definition to the perimeter of the reflection. At 4cm depth, the frame projects minimally from the wall, maintaining a slim profile despite the large surface area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold leaf finish is applied by hand onto the MDF substrate, giving a warm metallic tone that varies slightly across the frame depending on how the leaf settled during application. This finish pairs well with warm-toned timber, brass fixtures, and interiors using ochre, terracotta or neutral palettes. The mirror weighs 25.2kg, requiring secure wall fixings appropriate to the wall type — solid masonry, stud wall with noggins, or plasterboard with cavity fixings rated to the load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oval geometry softens the visual impact of a large mirror in tighter hallways or narrow wall spaces where a rectangular frame might feel too rigid. The 173cm height suits most adult users for full-length dressing checks, while the 83cm width keeps the footprint manageable in rooms where wall width is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e83cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e173cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.2kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold Leaf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/119573_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wall fixings are needed for the 25.2kg weight?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aries requires two secure fixings rated to at least 15kg each. On solid masonry walls, use 6-8mm wall plugs and screws. On stud walls, fix into timber noggins or use cavity fixings rated to the load. Plasterboard-only fixings are not suitable without noggin reinforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be used as a leaner mirror?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 173cm height and 83cm width give a stable footprint when leaned against a wall at a slight angle. The 4cm frame depth provides enough contact area to prevent slipping on most floor surfaces, though a non-slip mat underneath is recommended on polished floors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the gold leaf finish maintained?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the frame with a dry, soft microfibre cloth to remove dust. Avoid water, household sprays and polishes, as moisture can lift or tarnish the gold leaf. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable if dried immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between gold leaf and painted gold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold leaf is applied in thin metallic sheets that reflect light differently depending on viewing angle, giving a more varied and warmer tone than flat painted gold. Each frame shows slight variation in how the leaf settled during application, making every Aries mirror subtly unique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schuller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51440348561675,"sku":"119573","price":534.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/119573_9_HighRes_bf3a2a57-cd85-449b-b8d1-ccc981738f2b.jpg?v=1748354172","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/aries-oval-wall-mirror-gold-leaf-173x83cm","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
