Description
The Surcos is a 100cm diameter circular wall mirror with three raised gold leaf channels that run across the mirror surface in an organic, branch-like pattern. The channels are cast in resin, finished in gold leaf, and sit proud of the glass, creating a three-dimensional texture that catches light from different angles throughout the day. The mirror glass itself is bevelled at the edge and backed onto an MDF frame that provides structural rigidity for wall mounting.
Designed as a statement piece for entrance halls, living room feature walls, and above console tables or sideboards, the Surcos works in spaces where a decorative mirror serves both functional and sculptural roles. The 100cm diameter suits walls with 1.2m or more of clear width, and the 18kg weight requires secure fixing into solid wall studs or masonry with appropriate heavy-duty mirror fixings. The shallow 2.4cm depth keeps the mirror close to the wall while the raised gold channels add visual depth.
The gold leaf finish on the channels shows tonal variation and subtle texture from the hand-applied leafing process, giving each mirror a slightly different character. The organic, flowing form of the channels contrasts with the geometric circle of the mirror itself, balancing structure with movement. The finish pairs with warm brass hardware, timber furniture, and both neutral and saturated wall colours — the reflective surface adapts to its surroundings while the gold channels remain a constant accent.
Schuller produces the Surcos in Spain, where the gold leaf is applied by hand to the resin channels before they are mounted onto the mirror glass. The MDF backing includes keyhole fixings for wall mounting, though professional installation is recommended given the weight and the need to ensure secure fixing into structural wall elements.

Frequently Asked
How is the mirror mounted?
The MDF backing includes keyhole fixings for wall mounting. Given the 18kg weight, the mirror must be fixed into solid wall studs or masonry using appropriate heavy-duty mirror fixings. Professional installation is recommended to ensure secure mounting.
Can the gold channels be damaged?
The gold leaf channels are sealed over the resin base, but gold leaf is softer than metal finishes and can be marked by abrasive cleaning or impact. Clean the mirror glass with standard glass cleaner and a soft cloth, avoiding the raised gold channels. For the gold areas, use only a dry microfibre cloth.
What wall colour works best with this mirror?
The Surcos pairs well with both neutral walls (whites, greys, beiges) and saturated colours (deep greens, blues, charcoals). The reflective surface adapts to its surroundings while the gold channels provide a warm accent that works across most interior palettes.
Does the gold leaf vary between mirrors?
Yes. The gold leaf is applied by hand to each channel, so tonal variation and subtle texture differences occur between individual pieces. This is a characteristic of the hand-finishing process, not a defect.
