Dark Walnut Finish Broken Arch Pendulum Mantel Clock - Brown

This broken arch mantel clock pairs a dark walnut finish with a clear cream dial and a gold-coloured pendulum, bringing a traditional look to a mantelpiece or shelf. The arched top rises above stepped shoulders, and the case sits on a moulded base with shaped feet. Bold black Roman numerals ring the dial, with a fine minute track around the edge and black hands that are easy to read across a room. Beneath the dial, the pendulum hangs in the lower part of the case. The clock is 26cm tall, 21.5cm wide and 9cm deep, a comfortable size for most mantelpieces.

Being only 9cm deep, it fits neatly on a narrow mantel, a deep windowsill, a bookcase shelf or a sideboard, and because it stands on its own base it needs no wall or fixings. The dark brown tone sits well with traditional furnishings and warm neutral walls, and it adds a quiet, classic note to a more modern room too. In a study or hallway the cream dial gives a clear read of the time at a glance, while in a sitting room it gives the fireplace a natural focal point. It suits anyone who prefers a traditional face with Roman numerals to a plain modern dial.

The case has a dark walnut finish with a soft sheen, and the back is a plain panel in a matching reddish brown tone, so it looks tidy on an open shelf. The pendulum has a polished gold-coloured finish that contrasts with the case. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid sprays or polish. Stand it on a level surface away from direct sunlight. Set it at the centre of a mantelpiece between a pair of candlesticks, or at one end of a shelf beside a few favourite books, and it brings a settled, traditional feel to the room.
