Glass Pendulum Mantel Clock with Roman Numeral Dial - Clear

This glass pendulum mantel clock brings a clean, bright look to a mantelpiece, with a round silver dial set into a clear upright panel. The panel sits between two stepped slabs of glass, one forming the top and one the base, so the whole clock reads as a neat rectangle of clear glass with the dial floating in its upper half. Roman numerals mark twelve, three, six and nine, with slim batons between, and the silver hands are easy to read against the lighter centre. A slim silver pendulum hangs beneath the dial. It stands 23cm tall, 19cm wide and 7cm deep.

At 23cm tall it is sized for a mantelpiece, but it sits just as well on a sideboard, a hall table, a bookshelf or a desk in a home office. Because the glass lets the wall behind show through, it suits a smaller room where a solid clock would feel heavy. It also works with almost any colour scheme, from white walls to deeper paint shades. At 7cm deep it needs only a narrow ledge, and as a freestanding clock it needs no wall fixing at all. The silver details sit comfortably beside other silver, chrome or glass pieces.

The shiny clear glass forms the frame of the clock, and a polished silver-tone bezel surrounds the dial. The stepped top and base give it a broad footprint, so it sits squarely on a level surface. To keep the glass bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and lift fingerprints with a slightly damp lint-free cloth. Dry it straight after, and keep moisture away from the dial. Place it where it will not be knocked, as glass edges can chip. Set it on the mantelpiece between a pair of candlesticks or on a desk beside a framed photograph, and it makes a thoughtful gift that will be used every day.
