Description
The Kenema is a square wall clock with real presence, 80cm wide, 80cm high and 9.5cm deep. Its broad metal frame has an aged grey look, lifted by a beaded antique brass border, round studs and small ornamented corners. Inside, large Roman numerals in antique brass circle a layered dial, and at the centre sits a cluster of exposed gears in warm brass tones, set off by slim black hands. The whole face sits behind a glass front.
At this size we would hang it on a large, open wall: above a sofa, over a sideboard, on a chimney breast or in a stairwell, where it reads clearly from across the room. The industrial gear detail suits a loft-style living room, a study with dark wood and leather, or a hallway that wants one strong focal point rather than lots of small pieces. Big brass numerals stand out against the darker dial, so the time is easy to tell at a glance, even from the far end of a long room. It is an indoor piece, happiest in a dry room.
Metal makes up the frame and the gear detail, with glass across the face. The clock runs on three AA batteries, size LR6, which are not included, so have a set ready before hanging it. At 16.9KG it is a heavy clock, and that weight decides where it can go: choose a solid wall and a fixing rated comfortably beyond that figure, and a handyman will know the right plug and screw for your wall if you are unsure. A soft, dry cloth is all the frame and glass need; skip sprays and abrasives, which can dull an aged metal finish. Keep a spare set of batteries in a drawer and swap them whenever the hands begin to lag.
