Heal's Outlook Wall Mirror
£165
Price History
Description
The Outlook 55" Rectangular Mirror is a classic, contemporary design for hallways, bathrooms and living spaces. Generously proportioned and framed in natural oak, it appears slim and defined from the front, while the recessed mirror gives the frame greater depth from the side. Softly rounded corners bring a more considered finish to the overall silhouette. A clever hanging fixture allows the mirror to be displayed in either portrait or landscape orientation, while a spacer at the back creates a small gap between the frame and wall, giving the impression that the mirror is floating. Made from sustainably harvested American white oak and oak veneers, it is selected for its warm colour, distinctive grain and durability, then hand-sanded and finished with a matt, water-resistant lacquer. Designed by Lincoln Rivers. Can be hung in either portrait or landscape orientation. Suitable for use in bathrooms. Sustainably harvested American white oak and oak veneers with hidden keyhole fixings.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
