Arched Wooden Mantel Clock with Roman Numeral Dial - Oak

This arched wooden mantel clock brings a traditional face to a mantelpiece, with its rounded top, plinth base and clear Roman numeral dial. The case is a warm oak colour with the wood's soft grain running through it, and the round white dial sits in a gold-coloured bezel, so the clock reads easily from across a room. Black spade hands point to bold black Roman numerals, set inside a fine minute track. It stands 17cm tall, 14cm wide and 4.2cm deep, a size that suits a narrow shelf as well as a full mantelpiece without crowding what sits beside it.

We see it on a living room mantelpiece, but it is just as much at home on a sideboard, a bookcase, a dresser or a bedside table, where a compact analogue clock is easier to glance at than a phone. At 4.2cm deep it fits on a slim ledge or the front of a deep shelf, and because it stands on its own base it needs no wall fixing or nail. The soft oak tone and classic arched outline sit comfortably with country, traditional and simple modern rooms alike, and the white dial keeps it bright against darker wood or painted walls.

The clock keeps time with a quartz movement, housed behind a round black cover at the back, where the battery compartment sits. It runs on an AA battery, also sold as LR6 or MN1500, which is not included, so have one ready for the day it arrives. To keep the wood looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp and direct heat. Set between a pair of candlesticks or beside a framed photograph, it gives a mantelpiece a settled, traditional centre, and it makes a considered gift for anyone who prefers a proper clock face to a digital display.
