Arched Rotating Pendulum Anniversary Mantel Clock - Silver

This mantel clock sets a round white dial with crisp black Roman numerals and black hands inside a silver frame, all under an arched clear dome. A pointed crown topped with three small finials sits over the dial, and a fluted column with a ball finial stands on either side. Beneath the dial, the rotating pendulum turns with four faceted clear baubles that catch the light as they move. The whole clock stands 23cm tall, 15cm wide and 15cm deep, with a polished silver finish from crown to base.

Its size suits a mantelpiece, and it is just as much at home on a sideboard, a bookshelf or a hall table, anywhere the turning pendulum can be seen. At 15cm across it needs only a modest spot, and because it stands freely on its own base it needs no wall fixing or hanging. The silver finish and white dial sit comfortably in traditional rooms and look as good against dark wood as against a pale wall. It makes a considered present for someone who likes a classic clock on show, the kind of piece that soon feels part of the room.

The clock rises from a stepped round base with a polished platform under the pendulum, so the faceted baubles are mirrored in its shine as they turn. The dome covers the dial, the columns and the pendulum, and the bold Roman numerals stay easy to read from across a room. For care, dust the base and dome with a soft dry cloth and avoid anything abrasive that could dull the polished finish. Give it a level, steady surface set back from the edge of a shelf so the pendulum can turn freely. We like it as the centrepiece of a mantelpiece, flanked by a pair of candlesticks or framed photographs, and it makes a handsome gift.
