Saumur Etched Wall Mirror

Saumur Mirror is an ornate wall mirror from LoftModern Curations: a tall rectangle with clipped corners, framed in a border of hand-etched and cut glass.

It measures 36 in wide by 46.5 in high, with a central plate of 23.5 in by 38 in, a generous size for a mantel, entry or dressing wall.

The Design Story

Saumur follows the Venetian tradition of building a frame out of glass itself. Narrow strips of mirror are etched with scrolling floral sprigs and bordered in cut edges, and the corners are cut away and finished with small glass rosettes. The center plate is clear and flat, so the decoration stays at the perimeter, like lace around a window.

Why You’ll Love It

The border catches light from any direction and scatters it softly across a wall, which makes the mirror feel luminous even in a dim hall. It is a good way to add detail to a room without color or pattern.

Where It Shines

Above a fireplace, a console or a sideboard, where the etched border can be seen up close. It also suits a dressing room or a formal dining room.

Questions We Hear Most

How big is the reflecting area?

The clear center plate is 23.5 in by 38 in (59.7 by 96.5 cm). The rest of the 36 by 46.5 in (91.4 by 118.1 cm) overall size is the etched glass border.

Is the etching done by hand?

The finish is described as hand etched and cut, so small differences from piece to piece are part of its character.

How should I clean it?

Dust the border with a soft dry brush and wipe the center with a barely damp cloth. Spray glass cleaner onto the cloth, not onto the mirror, so liquid stays out of the etched edges.

Where is the best place to hang it?

Choose a wall that receives some natural or lamp light so the etching glints. Because the glass border is delicate, hang it securely into studs or with suitable wall anchors.
