Rusty Black W/Gold Frame W/Vintage Mirror

Rusty Black W/Gold Frame W/Vintage Mirror | Online8 New Zealand

Two things are happening in this piece at once. The frame carries a rusted black finish shot through with gold, so it reads as weathered metal rather than as a painted surface — and the glass inside it is vintage rather than clear, giving back a softened, aged reflection instead of a sharp one. Together they make a 900 x 900mm mirror that behaves like a salvaged architectural fragment rather than a piece of new decor.

Why It Stands Apart

• A two-tone weathered finish. Rusted black broken by gold, which gives the frame the variegation of genuinely aged metal rather than the flatness of a single applied colour.
• Vintage glass, not clear. The reflection is deliberately softened and aged, which is what makes the piece read as salvaged rather than newly made.
• A generous 900mm square footprint. Large enough to anchor a wall on its own, without needing companion pieces to make sense of it.
• Character rather than polish. The whole piece is built around irregularity, so marks and variation in the finish are the point rather than a defect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the reflection not sharp?
Because the glass is vintage rather than clear. An aged mirror returns a softened, mottled image by design, and this one will not give you a crisp reflection. Choose it for what it does on a wall, not for checking your appearance — and if you need a clear mirror at this size, ask us for one instead.

What is the frame made of?
Our supplier record does not say, and we will not guess at it. The finish is described as rusted black with gold, which suggests metal, but we would rather confirm than assume. Call the showroom before ordering, particularly if the mirror is destined for a bathroom or anywhere humid.

Is the rust real?
It is a finish, applied to look weathered, rather than actual corrosion — so it will not spread, stain your wall or worsen over time.

How should it be fixed to the wall?
Into a stud where possible. A 900mm square of glass carries substantial weight whatever the frame is made from, so use fixings rated well above it and check for wiring before drilling.

What does it weigh?
The recorded figure is a bulk-import placeholder rather than a measured weight, so we have not published it. Call the showroom and we will confirm.

How is it delivered?
Shipping charges are available at checkout.
