Description
This half moon mantel clock sets a gold castle scene behind a curved clear front, with towers, battlements and swan figures gathered around a round cream dial. It is made from plastic with a metallic gold effect finish, and the curved ends are picked out in glossy black, which gives the gold a crisp frame. The dial carries bold black Arabic numerals with black hands and a slim gold second hand, so the time reads easily from across the room. At 23.7cm high, 32.5cm wide and 13cm deep, it is a generous size for a mantelpiece and sits comfortably on a deep shelf.
It belongs on a mantelpiece above a fireplace, a sideboard in the dining room or a bookcase in a living room, anywhere a clock is meant to be looked at as well as read. The rotating pendulum adds gentle motion to the scene, and the quartz movement is silent, so there is no tick to notice in a quiet sitting room or a bedroom. As a new home gift it makes a warm, traditional choice for someone setting up their first lounge or settling into a house with a fireplace.
The clock runs on batteries: it takes one C battery and one AA battery, and both are included, so it is ready to set and stand straight from the box. Its flat base sits steadily on any level surface and needs no wall fixing. Keep the plastic case and clear front clean with a soft dry cloth, dusting gently around the raised details rather than pressing on them. Give it a little space either side so the castle scene and the black ends can be seen properly, and set it between a pair of candlesticks for a classic mantel arrangement.
