Chantelle Leaner Mirror Black - 178x117cm

The Chantelle is a 178x117cm full-length leaner mirror framed in carved black-finished wood with baroque-style detailing. The frame carries floral and scroll motifs along each edge, with raised corner cartouches adding depth and dimensionality to the profile. The 8cm frame depth gives the mirror a substantial 23kg weight and presence when leant against a wall.

Designed to lean rather than hang, the Chantelle suits bedrooms, dressing rooms and hallways with floor-to-ceiling heights of 2m or more. The 178cm height provides full-length reflection for outfit checking and dressing, while the 117cm width captures enough peripheral context to see clothing drape and silhouette. The black finish anchors visually against lighter wall colours and pairs comfortably with both traditional period interiors and contemporary schemes needing a statement accent.

The wood frame is finished in a matt black that minimises reflections and dust visibility compared to gloss finishes. The carved detailing is routed into solid timber rather than applied moulding, so the corners and junctions sit flush without seams or mitred edges opening over time. The mirror glass itself is standard float glass backed with protective coating to prevent silvering deterioration in humid environments.

Can this mirror be hung on a wall instead of leant?

The Chantelle is designed as a leaner mirror and does not carry D-rings or hanging hardware. At 23kg it would require substantial wall fixings rated for the weight if you chose to adapt it for hanging. Most users lean it at a slight angle against the wall for stability.

What wall clearance is needed to lean the mirror safely?

The 8cm frame depth means the base of the mirror sits 8-10cm proud of the skirting when leant at a typical 5-10 degree angle. Allow at least 15cm of clear floor space in front of the skirting for stable positioning.

How is the black finish maintained?

The matt black wood finish can be dusted with a dry microfibre cloth. For marks or fingerprints, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the timber and do not use furniture polish or spray cleaners on the carved detailing as they can accumulate in the recesses.

Is the glass suitable for humid rooms like bathrooms?

The mirror glass carries a protective backing to resist moisture damage, but prolonged exposure to high humidity may affect the wood frame finish over time. It is better suited to bedrooms, dressing rooms and hallways than unventilated bathrooms.
