Campervan Metal Mantel Clock with Roman Numeral Dial - Green

This green metal mantel clock takes the shape of a classic campervan, complete with a black wire roof rack, round silver headlamps and a black front bumper. The clock face sits in the side of the van where a window would be: a round cream dial with bold black Roman numerals, slim black hands and a small gold-coloured centre, framed in a neat black rim. Open window cut-outs run along the sides, little orange lights pick out the front and back, and four black and silver wheels finish the look. It measures 30cm wide, 18.3cm tall and 11cm deep, a size that sits comfortably on a mantelpiece or a deep shelf.

As a mantel clock it stands freely, so it needs no wall fixing: set it on a mantelpiece, a bookcase, a sideboard or a desk in a study. The campervan design brings a cheerful, retro note to a living room or a hallway console, and it sits happily beside other vintage pieces or a row of travel books. Because the van is detailed all the way round, with a panelled back and small rear lights, it looks just as good from an angle as it does side on, which suits an open shelf.

The body is metal, painted a smooth green with a soft sheen, while the roof rack, bumper and wheel trims add crisp black and silver contrast. Look closely and you will spot a little steering wheel inside the cab. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe the dial gently with a barely damp one, avoiding harsh cleaners on the painted finish. Wrapped as a gift or set on the mantelpiece between a pair of candlesticks, it is the kind of clock people pick up for a closer look, and it keeps the hours with a good dose of holiday spirit.
