Best way hang a huge antique 30# mirror and avoid forward tilt?

I found a solution for you!

• Select a frame with a rabbet only deep enough to hold the art and the glass.
• Measure the height of your frame. Divide by 5. Call this value c (see below).
• Attach your eyelets or rings c inches down from the top of the frame.
• Install two wall-hooks located c inches inward from each side of the frame. You will definitely need to use a level the spot the hooks.
• String the wire with just enough slack to create 45-degree angles from the eyelets to the wall-hooks, while hiding the wall-hooks behind the top of the frame.

Attach bumpers to the bottom corners to stabilize the frame.

Thank you Hillela for the great suggestions, especially the specific measurements And the link. I really appreciate it. The mirror has been in the family as far back as I can remember and I really want to hang & enjoy it!

Link did not work.

Is it being hung by a wire? If so, shorten the wire to where it is about 1/3rd of the way down on the back--straight across and tighten (using eyelet screws) Might also add a thread spool glued to back at each bottom corner to help push the mirror away from the wall...Should help...what do you think? Could glue a small block of wood on each bottom corner. Just a suggestion.
