What are polished-edge mirror facets?
Polished-edge facets are individual mirror sections with edges ground and polished smooth rather than left raw or beveled. The curved arrangement of these facets creates the flowing silhouette while each polished edge adds dimensional sparkle as it catches light.
What is silver-leaf finish?
Silver-leaf finish is a decorative technique applying thin sheets of silver or silver-colored metal to surfaces. The light antiquing on this mirror creates subtle patina and depth that prevents the finish from appearing too bright, achieving refined elegance.
How does the curved design affect placement?
The curved silhouette adds visual interest from all angles, making it suitable for central placement on feature walls. The organic shape works particularly well above consoles, mantels, or beds where the flowing curves create focal points without rigid symmetry.
Is this mirror heavy?
The steel frame construction provides substantial weight that ensures stability once mounted, though it remains manageable for wall installation. Professional installation is recommended for secure mounting, particularly on drywall where proper anchors or stud mounting are necessary.
Can this be used in bathrooms?
While the mirror can technically be used in powder rooms with good ventilation, the steel frame and antiqued silver finish perform best in areas with controlled humidity. Avoid placement in full bathrooms where constant steam could affect the frame finish over time.
What styles does antique silver coordinate with?
Antiqued silver finishes work beautifully in transitional, glam, contemporary, and traditional interiors. The cool metallic coordinates with grays, whites, blues, and jewel tones while adding elegance without the warmth of gold or brass finishes.
