Vintage Wall Mirror - Antique Marble

Vintage Wall Mirror - Antique Marble | Online8 New Zealand

This is the wide one, and the proportion is the reason to buy it. At 1200mm across and only 440mm high it is built to run horizontally — above a mantelpiece, over a sideboard, along the wall behind a dining table — which is a shape very few mirrors are made in and a gap most rooms have. The ornate cast frame carries a distressed antique marble finish, and because the material is a magnesia composite it is rated for outdoor use as well.

Why It Stands Apart

• A genuinely landscape format. 1200 x 440mm is proportioned to run along a wall rather than up it, which suits mantels, sideboards and dining walls where a portrait mirror never sits correctly.
• Rated for indoor and outdoor use. The magnesia and fibreglass composite is unaffected by rain and humidity, so it can go on a courtyard wall as readily as above a fireplace.
• Cast stone appearance without the weight. The composite gives the texture and cool surface of carved stone with none of the brittleness of the real material.
• Colour through the cast. The antique marble tone runs through the material rather than being painted on, so chips expose more of the same finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

You list two Vintage Wall Mirrors in Antique Marble. What is the difference?
Orientation and size. This is the landscape version, 1200mm wide by 440mm high, SKU QD5003, made to sit above a mantel or sideboard. The other is a portrait piece, 520mm wide by 1500mm high, SKU QD5007. Same finish, same material, completely different applications.

Where should I position it outdoors?
Out of sustained direct sunlight, which a mirror concentrates onto whatever sits opposite it — a genuine fire risk against dry planting or a timber fence in a New Zealand summer. Mounting it high rather than low also reduces the chance of birds flying into the reflection, which is the usual complaint about garden mirrors.

How should it be fixed to the wall?
Into structural framing. A 1200mm wide cast frame spans a good distance, so use more than one fixing point into studs and check for wiring or pipework first. Outdoors, use exterior-rated fixings that will not rust and stain the finish.

Will it work above a fireplace?
The proportions suit a mantel well. Bear in mind that sustained heat and soot from an open fire will mark any frame over time, so allow reasonable clearance above the opening.

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

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