Miniature Grand Piano Shiny Metal Mantel Clock - Silver

This miniature mantel clock takes the shape of a grand piano, made in metal with a shiny silver finish from its curved case to its three tapered legs. The lid lifts at an angle, just as it does on a full-size grand, and set beneath it is a round white dial with black Roman numerals, slim black hands and a polished silver bezel. Along the front runs a little keyboard of white keys picked out with black ones, and the curved outline of the case closely follows the line of a real grand piano. It measures 3.5cm high, 6cm wide and 6.5cm deep, a true miniature that fits into the smallest gap on a shelf.

Being so small, it suits the places where a full-size clock would crowd things: the end of a mantelpiece, a bookshelf between favourite books, a dressing table or a bedside table. On a desk it keeps the time in easy view without taking up working space, and the bright silver catches the light wherever it stands. Lower the lid and it rests as a closed piano with the dial tucked away, so it doubles as a small ornament between uses. We think it brings a note of charm to any shelf that needs a little character.

The case is metal, with a mirror-bright silver finish on the body, lid and legs. It runs on one LR66 battery, which is included, so it is ready to set and stand straight away. The three legs give it a steady footing on any flat surface, and it needs no wall or fixing. To keep the shine bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive pads, which can dull polished metal. Stand it at a slight angle so the curve of the case and the raised lid catch the eye, and it makes a charming small gift to wrap.
