Ornate Bevelled Floor Mirror – Antique Silver

Ornate Bevelled Floor Mirror - Antique Silver | Online8 New Zealand

Antique silver behaves quite differently from gold at this scale. Where gold at 2200mm reads as unmistakably formal and classical, an aged silver lacquer sits closer to pewter or weathered zinc — cool, slightly industrial, and far easier to place in a contemporary room. It is the version of this frame you choose when you want the presence of hand-carved mahogany ornament without the room reading as period.

Why It Stands Apart

• Cool rather than formal. Aged silver reads closer to pewter than to gilt, which lets an elaborately carved frame sit in a contemporary room without dating it.
• Hand-carved mahogany. The detail is cut into hardwood rather than cast, so it varies subtly around the frame and catches light unevenly the way old carving does.
• 2200mm tall, 1200mm wide. Full-length with real width, reflecting the room behind you rather than only the person standing in it.
• Wall or floor. Built to rest against a wall or to hang, so it is not committed to one use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit through my door?
Not upright. At 2200mm it exceeds a standard 1980mm door frame, and 1200mm of width leaves very little room to turn in an ordinary hallway. It has to be tilted and manoeuvred through every doorway on the route in. Measure hall width, stair turns, landing space and ceiling height before ordering, and call us first if access is tight.

How do I stop it falling over?
Secure it, without exception. A mahogany-framed mirror standing 2200mm tall has an extremely high centre of gravity and would fall further and hit harder than almost anything else we sell. Strap or bracket it into a wall stud, never into plasterboard. Never stand it on a rug or an uneven floor. Never place it where a door can swing into it. With children in the house it should never be left freestanding.

Is there a matching wall-sized version?
Yes. The same frame and finish is made at 1100 x 1500mm as SKU AH3043, so the two can be used in connected rooms.

How do I clean hand-carved detail?
A soft dry brush rather than a cloth, which snags on the carving. Apply glass cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying it, so nothing runs into the recesses. Avoid metal polish — the silver is a lacquer finish, not metal, and polish will strip it.

What does it weigh?
Considerably more than our records state. The figure held against this product is a placeholder repeated across mirrors of very different sizes, so we have not published it. At this size the real weight determines how many people you need on delivery day.
