Virelle Rectangle Wall Mirror - Champagne Gold

The Virelle is a 106 x 81cm rectangular wall mirror framed in carved wood finished in champagne gold. The frame features a repeating egg-and-dart relief pattern running continuously around all four sides, forming a 40mm-wide border that projects 30mm from the wall when hung. The carved wood gives the frame texture and depth visible from oblique angles, while the champagne gold finish reads as a warm, mid-tone metallic with a slight satin sheen.

Designed for hallways, living rooms and positions above mantels or console tables, the Virelle provides full torso reflection when hung vertically and acts as a light multiplier in spaces with limited natural light. The 106cm height allows someone of average height to check their outfit from head to waist when the mirror is hung with its lower edge 900-1000mm from the floor. The 16kg weight requires two secure wall fixings into solid masonry or wall studs rather than plasterboard alone.

The champagne gold finish sits between true gold and antique brass in tone, with less yellow than polished brass and less oxidisation than aged bronze. This makes it compatible with both warm-toned traditional interiors and neutral contemporary schemes where gold accents are already present in furniture hardware or light fittings. The carved egg-and-dart pattern is a classical architectural motif that dates to ancient Greek temple decoration, giving the mirror a traditional rather than modern character.

What wall fixings are required?

At 16kg, the mirror requires two secure fixings into solid masonry using wall plugs and screws, or into wooden wall studs if fixing to a stud wall. Plasterboard fixings alone will not safely support this weight. Most installations use two D-rings or keyhole plates on the reverse of the frame, with corresponding wall hooks spaced to match.

Can it be hung horizontally?

Yes. The rectangular format works in either orientation. Hung horizontally, the mirror measures 81cm tall by 106cm wide and suits positions above sideboards, sofas or mantels where a wider reflection is preferred.

How is the frame cleaned?

Wipe the carved wood frame with a dry or barely-damp microfibre cloth. Avoid spray polishes and household cleaners, which can build up in the recesses of the carved pattern and dull the finish over time. The mirror glass itself can be cleaned with standard glass cleaner.

Does the champagne gold match polished brass?

Champagne gold sits between polished brass and antique brass in tone. It has less yellow than new polished brass and less oxidisation than aged brass, so it coordinates with both but does not exactly match either. Consider the dominant metal tones already present in the room when pairing.
