Description
This arched plastic mantel clock brings the familiar curved outline of a traditional fireside clock to your shelf or mantelpiece, finished in white with an etched surface. Fine grey streaks run through the white, giving it a softly brushed, gently aged look that sits happily in older homes and newer ones alike. The round face carries large black Arabic numerals with a ring of minute markings around its edge, and slim black hands meet at a small brass coloured centre. It stands 20.5cm tall, 36cm across and 7.5cm deep.
The mantelpiece is its natural home, centred above a fireplace where the arched shape can be seen from across the room. It looks just as right on a sideboard, a bookcase, a hall console or a bedside table: it stands on its own on any flat surface, so there is nothing to fix to a wall. At 7.5cm deep it suits a narrow shelf or a deep windowsill too. The clear Arabic numerals read easily at a glance, which makes it a practical choice for a study desk or a kitchen dresser as well as a sitting room. White with grey streaks pairs easily with cream, soft grey, natural wood and painted furniture.
The case is made of plastic with a stepped foot at each end, and the back is a black panel with the quartz movement set in the centre. It runs on one AA battery, so there is no winding and no cable to hide. To keep it looking its best, dust the case and the face with a soft dry cloth and wipe away any marks with a slightly damp cloth. For an easy finish, set it at the centre of the mantelpiece between a pair of candlesticks, or group it on a shelf with a small vase and a stack of books.
