Cooper Classics
That item has been discontinued, but here are similar options.
A mirror changes a room more than almost anything else you can hang. It works like a second window, throws evening lamplight back across the ceiling and makes a narrow space read wider. Cooper Classics has built its name on that one object. The company says it has made heirloom-quality mirrors and clocks for more than 40 years as a family-rooted business, and it calls itself "Masters of the Mirror." At AURA, most of the Cooper Classics collection is mirrors, with cabinets and wall clocks alongside.
The focus shows where it matters, in the frame. The glass reflects whatever sits in front of it. The frame is the only part with a point of view. So choose Cooper Classics mirrors by frame for the room and by size for the wall, in that order.
Cooper Classics Mirrors, Room by Room
Cooper Classics wall mirrors for the entry
In an entry, a mirror is a last check on the way out and a way to make a small space feel bigger on the way in. It sits best over a console, the anchor of most luxury entryway furniture, at about two-thirds of the console's width with its center near 60" from the floor. A gold frame like the 28x40" Antiqued Gold Tapered Wall Mirror warms a dim entry at night, because gold picks up the nearest lamp and holds it.
Living room mirrors: scale is the usual mistake
Over a sofa or a fireplace, a mirror that is too small floats on the wall like a postage stamp. Aim for roughly half to two-thirds of the width of the furniture beneath it, and keep the bottom edge 6" to 10" above the sofa back. Where your luxury living room furniture is heavy with dark wood or leather, a pale frame such as the 28x42" White Wall Mirror lifts the wall without adding another weighty tone.
Dining room and bedroom wall mirrors
Across from a window in the dining room, a mirror doubles daylight at lunch and candlelight at dinner, reason enough to hang one near your luxury dining room furniture. In a bedroom, think about what the mirror will see from the pillow. If you like a dark, quiet room, hang it over the dresser among the rest of your luxury bedroom furniture rather than facing the bed, where it will catch every streetlight that slips past the curtains.
Cooper Classics Wall Clocks
The brand makes its clocks to coordinate with its mirrors, so a clock can share a room with one without competing. Scale them differently. The 44" Silver Metal Wall Clock is a statement for a tall wall or a stair landing, large enough to act as the art on that wall. The 24" Black Metal Wall Clock earns its place in a kitchen or a home office, where you need to read the time from across the room.
A black or silver metal wall clock?
Black reads as a graphic line on a light wall and nearly vanishes on a dark one. Silver does the opposite after sunset, catching lamplight against a deep paint color. Choose against the wall, not the furniture, and the clock will look like it was planned with the room.
Cooper Classics Medicine Cabinets
Cooper Classics lists medicine cabinets among what it makes. In a small bath, a cabinet behind a mirrored front gives you storage without adding another piece to a room that has no floor to spare. Check each listing for how it mounts, because a recessed cabinet needs an open stud bay and a surface-mount one needs clear wall depth. That one detail decides which cabinet will work before style even enters the conversation.
Choosing a Cooper Classics Mirror to Keep
Heirloom is the brand's own word for what it makes. The way to respect that is to buy for the wall you will still have in ten years: the right size and a frame that holds up in evening light, hung where people actually look. Done that way, the mirror works as part of the architecture of the room.
