Aries Oval Wall Mirror Silver Leaf - 136x36cm

The Aries is a 136cm tall oval wall mirror with a hand-applied silver leaf finish over an MDF frame, surrounding a bevelled mirror plate. The frame measures 36cm wide and 4cm deep, creating a slender profile that suits narrow wall spaces without overwhelming them. The bevelled edge around the mirror plate catches and refracts light at different angles depending on the time of day and the room's light sources.

Designed for vertical mounting in hallways, bedroom corners, dressing areas and living room alcoves, the Aries suits spaces with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above where a full-length or near-full-length reflection is useful. The mirror can also be mounted horizontally above a console table, sideboard or low media unit where a wide reflective surface helps bounce light across the room. At 8.6kg, the mirror requires secure wall fixings into studs or appropriate wall anchors depending on the wall construction.

The silver leaf finish is applied by hand to the MDF substrate, so minor variations in tone and texture occur between individual pieces. The cool metallic tone pairs with grey, white, black and navy interiors, and contrasts cleanly against warmer wood tones or terracotta. The bevelled mirror plate adds a subtle three-dimensional quality to reflections compared to a flat-edged mirror, and helps define the transition between the frame and the reflective surface.

Product Specification Sheet

Can the Aries be mounted horizontally?

Yes. The oval profile works in both vertical and horizontal orientations. Vertical mounting suits hallways and dressing areas where a full-length reflection is needed. Horizontal mounting works above console tables, sideboards and media units where a wider reflective surface is more useful.

What fixings are needed for the 8.6kg weight?

The mirror requires secure wall fixings rated for at least 10kg. On stud walls, use wood screws into the studs. On masonry walls, use appropriate wall anchors. On plasterboard without accessible studs, use heavy-duty plasterboard anchors rated for the weight. The mirror has D-ring or keyhole fixings on the reverse.

How is the silver leaf finish maintained?

Wipe the frame gently with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For the mirror plate, use standard glass cleaner or a damp cloth with distilled water, avoiding spray onto the frame. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the silver leaf finish as they may damage the applied metallic layer.

Does the bevelled edge affect the reflection?

The bevel is subtle and sits around the perimeter of the mirror plate. It refracts light at the edges, creating a slight three-dimensional quality to reflections, but does not distort the main reflective surface. The functional reflection area remains clear and accurate.
