Round Glamour Mirror in Black and Gold Frame – Made to Measure

A round decorative mirror in a hand-gilded solid wood frame that serves both as a functional piece and a bold design statement. The moulding combines a black profiled finish with a band of alternating 23 karat gold leaf and black segments — striking without being excessive. This wall mirror brings character to any room, whether classical or contemporary. Every piece is made to measure, allowing you to match the diameter to your wall and space. More than just a furnishing element — a deliberate choice of craftsmanship and quality materials.

Where it works

A round frame in black and gold fits naturally into glamour, art déco and eclectic interiors. Against pale walls, the contrast between the dark profile and gilded accents creates a strong focal point. In darker settings — charcoal, navy, bottle green — 23 karat gold brings warmth and depth.

The mirror works above a sofa or console in a living room, as a centrepiece in a hallway, or above a chest of drawers in a bedroom. In a bathroom, the black-and-gold combination pairs well with brass or gold-toned fixtures. The round shape softens angular furniture layouts and introduces visual balance.

Decorative mirrors with this level of detail lend distinctive character even to minimalist spaces. In modern interiors, a round mirror functions as a decorative element comparable to a painting — shifting the entire feel of a room with a single accent.

Craftsmanship

The frame is hand-made and gilded with genuine 23 karat gold leaf. The structure is built from solid wood, with frame elements joined using wooden dowels for long-term stability. Traditional craft techniques guarantee the durability and refinement of every piece.

After assembly, the surface is prepared in multiple stages for gilding. Gold leaf is applied sheet by sheet, by hand, with minimal overlap. The process demands experience and precision. Once complete, the surface is burnished with an agate stone, producing a deep, characteristic lustre.

The black sections of the profile are hand-painted and finished to achieve a smooth, uniform surface that contrasts sharply with the gold. The moulding — 110 mm wide and 35 mm deep — creates a substantial surround for the mirror glass. The decorative band of alternating gilded and black segments gives the frame rhythm and visual energy — a pattern rooted in the Italian frame-making tradition, characteristic of glamour and art déco design.

The 23 karat gold delivers an intense, warm tone. Its lustre does not fade over time, unlike schlagmetal finishes that gradually yellow and darken. 23K gold is chemically stable and resistant to oxidation. The frame is sealed with natural protective materials, without synthetic lacquers.

What sets this frame apart from mass production

The frame is not a resin cast, nor is it covered in foil or metallic paint. The gilding is genuine 23 karat gold leaf — not schlagmetal or metallic spray. Every piece is made by hand, from joinery through surface preparation to gilding and burnishing.

Solid wood joined with wooden dowels provides durability that MDF, plastic, or compressed board frames cannot match. The moulding has a real depth of 35 mm, giving the frame a tangible presence on the wall. The range also includes wall mirrors and standing mirrors in various shapes and finishes — each made with the same commitment to craft.

Functionality

SGG Miralite® Pure Diamant 4 mm OptiWhite mirror glass ensures true colour rendition without the greenish tint typical of standard glass. This matters most in bathrooms, dressing rooms, and makeup areas.

The HDF backing board provides rigidity. Secure wall brackets allow safe mounting. A round mirror visually enlarges a space and improves the distribution of light.

The mirror is suitable for domestic use as well as commercial settings — hotels, boutiques, beauty salons — where both aesthetics and durability of finish are essential.

Option: mirror with bevel

A 5 mm OptiWhite glass with bevel is available as an upgrade. The bevel — a polished, angled cut along the edge — catches and refracts light around the circumference, creating a fine luminous line where glass meets frame. In thicker glass this effect is more pronounced than in the standard 4 mm pane, adding an extra layer of depth. Worth considering especially for larger diameters, where the bevel becomes a visible decorative element.

Personalisation and custom ordering

Every mirror is made to order. The diameter is chosen individually. Beyond 23 karat gold, other tones are available: 22 karat, 12 karat, and 6 karat, each with a different colour temperature. Silver-leaf versions are also offered.

The gilded surface can be finished in full gloss, semi-matte, or matte. The black section is available in several shades, from deep black to dark graphite.

Lead times range from several weeks to a few months depending on size and finish. Order details are confirmed before work begins. Clients are welcome to send inspiration images or interior photographs — a tailored proposal will be prepared on that basis.
