Classic Gold Butterfly and Flower Oval Mantel Clock - Clear

This oval mantel clock pairs a frosted clear face with a spray of shiny, warm gold-toned leaves, flowers and a butterfly, giving a classic shelf clock a soft and romantic look. The decoration rises from the lower left: slender fern-like sprigs, three open flowers each set with a pearly bead at its centre, and a butterfly with finely cut open wings that reaches just past the right-hand edge. A fine rim in the same rosy gold tone traces the oval outline. Near the top sits a white dial with crisp black Roman numerals and slim dark hands inside a bright silver-toned bezel, so the time reads easily at a glance. It stands 16.5cm tall, 12.5cm wide and 4.5cm deep.

At this compact size it is happy on a mantelpiece, a bedside table, a dressing table or a bookshelf, settling in among family frames and keepsakes without crowding them. The frosted face lets a little of the wall colour behind it glow softly through, so it sits as comfortably in pale, pastel and neutral rooms as in warmer schemes. Because it stands on its own base, there is nothing to hang and no wall to drill: set it down and it is ready. At just 4.5cm deep, it fits narrow shelves where a bulkier clock would not.

The clock is freestanding, held upright on a shallow oval base edged in the same warm tone, which keeps it steady on a flat, level surface. From behind, the frosted panel is plain, with the movement housed neatly in a round case behind the dial and the leaf spray showing softly through. Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, taking care around the fine leaves and the butterfly's open wings, and avoid harsh cleaners. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves a pretty, romantic touch, and we love it on a dressing table.
