Description
This arched mantel clock stands in portrait, with a gold frame that curves over the top and runs down both sides to a stepped base on low feet, all in a gold metallic effect finish. Inside the frame, a clear panel holds a rectangular pale dial, so the face seems to float with the room showing through around it. There are no numbers: bold gold batons mark twelve, three, six and nine, slimmer strokes mark the hours between, and a fine gold line traces a smaller rectangle at the centre beneath gold hands. It stands 17cm high, 14.5cm wide and 6cm deep.
Made for the mantelpiece, it suits a living room where you want the time in view without a busy face competing with your pictures and candles. The compact portrait shape works as well on a sideboard, a bookcase shelf, a hallway console or a desk, and the clear panel keeps it looking light on a crowded surface. It stands on its own base, so it needs no wall and no fixings, and you can move it from room to room as you rearrange. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift, one that sits comfortably with modern and more traditional furnishings alike.
The curved sides carry a soft brushed look in the metallic effect finish, so the gold catches the light gently instead of glaring. At 6cm deep, the stepped base sits squarely on a level surface and takes up little room on a narrow mantel. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid sprays and polishes on the gold finish and the clear panel. Flank it with a pair of candles or a small vase, or set it at one end of a shelf to balance a row of books. Wrapped for a housewarming, it is a gift that earns its place every day.
