Gallery Direct Herzfeld rectangular wall mirror, silver, 93 × 127 cm

The Herzfeld rectangular wall mirror by Gallery Direct has a broad surround made up of rays of unequal length. A distressed silver finish brings out the raised detail, while the central mirror retains a clearly defined rectangular shape. It is a choice for someone looking for a substantial decorative surround rather than the largest possible reflective surface.

Allow space for the whole outline

The overall dimensions are 93 cm wide, 127 cm high and 3 cm deep. These measurements include the frame; they are not the dimensions of the central glass. Gallery Direct lists the frame width as 288 mm, so the balance between reflective glass and decorative surround is an important part of choosing this mirror. The photographs show the rays forming an uneven outer edge around the straight-sided centre.

Compare the full 93 × 127 cm outline with your available wall space, the width of any furniture beneath it and nearby furnishings. The shallow 3 cm depth does not describe its frontal footprint: the radiating frame still occupies a substantial area of the wall.

Portrait or landscape hanging

The manufacturer's documentation permits both orientations. Hung vertically, the mirror is 127 cm high; when turned, that measurement becomes its width. You can therefore choose the direction of the rectangular centre to suit the shape of the available wall without selecting a different model. The specified fixing type is D-ring. Its net weight is 7.7 kg, which needs to be considered when selecting fixings appropriate to the wall construction.

What the silver finish represents

The official material list is glass, PU and MDF. Silver describes the finish, not a frame made from silver or metal. The mirror glass is bevelled. Its radiating shape and distressed surface suit modern or glamour-led interiors. As a wall mirror and decoration, Herzfeld can be considered for a living room, dining room, bedroom, dressing room, entrance hall or corridor. In each case, judge the location by the complete framed outline rather than the reflective centre alone.
