Glass Mirror Napoleon Mantel Clock with Roman Dial - Silver

This mirrored glass mantel clock takes the classic Napoleon shape, with its gently arched top and sweeping shoulders, and gives it a bright silver finish. The mirrored glass front catches the light from every angle and frames a white dial with black Roman numerals and fine ornate hands inside a polished silver bezel. A band of small silver tiles runs along the curved top edge, adding texture and sparkle to the outline. It stands 13.5cm high, 23.2cm wide and 5.4cm deep, a neat size that suits a mantelpiece or shelf without crowding it.

A mantel clock belongs where it can be seen at a glance, and this one is at home on a mantelpiece above a fireplace, a sideboard, a bookcase or a dressing table. The mirrored glass reflects the room around it, so it brightens a darker corner of a living room or bedroom and sits happily with silver, grey and white schemes. At 5.4cm deep it needs only a slim ledge to stand on, and its flat base keeps it steady. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift, something useful that a friend or family member will glance at every day in their living room or hallway.

The clock runs on a quartz movement powered by a single AA battery, type MN1500, which is not included. The battery fits into the movement at the back, set into a plain black back panel, and the silver tiles wrap around the edge to finish the outline from behind too. To keep the mirror bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe away fingerprints with a lightly damp cloth, drying it straight after. Set it between a pair of candlesticks for a balanced mantelpiece, or tuck an AA battery in with the gift so it is ready to tick from the moment it is unwrapped.
