50s Hollywood Legend Round Glass Wall Clock 30cm - White

This glass wall clock brings a bold black and white portrait of a 1950s Hollywood screen legend into the room. She has soft curls, a dark beauty spot, a pendant necklace and a strappy dress that rises from the lower edge of the dial. The face is round and finished in white glazed glass, measuring 30cm across and just 2cm deep, so it sits neatly close to the wall. Black Arabic numerals run around the edge, and where the 5 and the 6 cross the dress they turn white, keeping every hour easy to read. Slim silver hands sweep from the centre, crisp against the white.

Hang it in a living room, hallway, kitchen, bedroom or home office, wherever a little old-fashioned screen glamour would be welcome. The black and white artwork suits a monochrome scheme and looks as good against a strong painted wall, where the white face stands out. At 30cm across it reads easily from the far side of a room without taking over the wall. We like it above a sideboard, a desk or a dressing table as much as on its own in a hall. It is a natural fit for a film room or a retro-styled corner, and it sits happily alongside vintage posters and framed prints.

The movement at the back runs on one AA battery. A hanging slot at its top lets the clock hang from a single screw or picture hook, with no bracket to fit. The glass face has a smooth glazed finish that takes only a moment to keep clean. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, and for fingermarks use a barely damp cloth, then dry it. Keep sprays and abrasive cleaners away from the glass and the artwork. For a gift, it suits a home with a soft spot for classic cinema, and its slim profile makes it easy to wrap.
