Chantelle Rectangle Wall Mirror Black - 119x89cm

The Chantelle is a 119x89cm rectangular wall mirror set in a carved black wood frame with baroque-style ornamentation. The frame features raised floral and scroll motifs across all four sides, with deeper relief at the corners where the carving builds up into layered acanthus and shell patterns. The black finish sits on top of the carved wood, creating tonal variation where the raised areas catch light differently to the recessed background.

Designed for living rooms, bedrooms and hallways where a statement wall mirror is needed, the Chantelle works in traditional, gothic and eclectic interiors where the carved frame acts as an architectural feature rather than a minimal surround. The 119cm height suits positioning above a fireplace mantel, console table or sideboard, while the 89cm width provides a useful vertical reflection without dominating walls narrower than 1.2m. The mirror glass itself sits recessed behind a beaded inner lip, giving the frame a three-dimensional presence when viewed from an angle.

The frame is built from solid wood rather than resin or composite, giving it a 19kg weight that requires secure wall fixings into masonry or timber studs. The 8cm projection from the wall means the mirror leans slightly forward when hung from D-rings, which reduces reflections of ceiling-mounted lights and gives better visibility of the room behind the viewer. The black finish works as a neutral in rooms with dark walls or as a grounding element in lighter interiors where the carved detail would otherwise feel too decorative.

What wall fixings are needed for a 19kg mirror?

The Chantelle requires two D-ring or strap hangers fixed into the back of the frame, hung from wall fixings rated for at least 25kg. On masonry walls use two No.10 screws with wall plugs. On plasterboard walls without timber studs behind, use spring toggle fixings or multiple-point picture rail hanging systems rated for the weight.

Can it be hung horizontally as well as vertically?

The frame design is symmetrical, so the mirror can be hung in either orientation. Horizontal mounting gives a landscape format of 89cm high by 119cm wide, which suits positioning above a long sideboard or double bed headboard.

Is the frame solid wood or composite?

The frame is carved from solid wood and finished in black. This gives it a 19kg weight and allows the carved detail to have genuine depth and relief, unlike lighter resin or composite frames where the ornamentation is moulded rather than carved.

How is the black finish maintained?

Dust the carved frame with a soft brush or microfibre cloth to prevent build-up in the recessed areas. For more stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable but avoid soaking the wood. Do not use furniture polish or spray cleaners on the carved surface as they can accumulate in the detail and darken the recesses.
