Description
This broken arch mantel clock brings a traditional shape to the shelf, with a gently curved top, a stepped cornice and a shaped base with a scalloped cut-out between its feet. The case has a light oak-effect finish in a warm honey tone, framing a pale silver-white dial with slim baton markers in place of numerals, black spade hands and a small gold-tone and silver centre. Beneath the dial, an oval window shows a silver-tone pendulum. It stands 22cm tall, 16.5cm wide and 11.5cm deep, so it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece or a narrow shelf without crowding it.
As a mantel clock, it is made to stand rather than hang: the broad base keeps it steady on a fireplace surround, a sideboard, a bookcase or a bedside table, and it needs no wall or fixings. The baton dial reads clearly at a glance from across a living room, while the analogue face keeps things simple for anyone who prefers hands to digits. The honey oak tone sits happily with cream walls, pale furniture and soft neutral furnishings, and it adds a traditional note to a study, a hallway console or a dining room dresser.
Inside is a quartz movement, and the battery size is AA, also sold as MN1500 or LR6; batteries are not included, so keep one to hand before you set it up. The back is a plain panel with a round opening, while the cornice and base wrap around in the same oak effect as the front, so the clock looks neat from the side as well as straight on. To keep it looking its best, dust the case and dial with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp and direct heat. Set it in the centre of the mantelpiece with a small plant or a framed print either side, and it becomes a quiet focal point.
