Description
This gold mantel clock sets a round dial inside a slim cylindrical case, framed by tall gold pillars that rise from a deep base to a matching top rim with a clear round window. The dial has a brushed gold face with bold dark Arabic numerals, a ring of fine minute dots and dark hands, so the time is easy to read at a glance from across a room. Beneath it, a gold pendulum ornament of polished spheres and swept, leaf-like blades sits on a stepped plinth, all in view through the clear case. The whole piece has a metallic effect gold finish and stands 18.5cm tall, 9.5cm wide and 9.5cm deep.
At 18.5cm tall and 9.5cm across, it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, a bookcase shelf, a dresser or a bedside table, and fits where a wider clock would crowd the space. The gold finish suits warm, classic rooms with wood and gold tones, and looks just as good as a single bright note on a plain shelf in a modern living room, hallway or study. Because the case is clear all round, it reads well from every side, so it can stand in the middle of a sideboard as easily as against a wall.
The clock runs on one AA battery and one LR battery, so there is no flex to trail and no socket to find, and it can go wherever looks best. With the dial and the pendulum ornament behind the clear case, care is mostly a matter of the outside: dust it with a soft dry cloth, and wipe the clear case with a slightly damp cloth when it needs it, drying it straight away. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the gold finish. We like it standing between a pair of candlesticks or framed photographs, and it makes a welcome present for anyone who enjoys a classic clock on the shelf.
