Oblong Plastic Mantel Clock with Handle and Arabic Dial - Silver

This silver mantel clock has an oblong case with a rounded carrying handle across the top, clear panels down each side and a white analogue dial marked with crisp black Arabic numerals. The dial sits in a square silver frame with neatly cut corners, and beneath it hangs a cluster of clear faceted drops that catch the light through the front panel. The case is plastic with a metallic effect silver finish, giving it the bright, polished look of a carriage clock. It stands 26cm tall, 14cm wide and 10.5cm deep, a size that sits comfortably on a mantelpiece or sideboard without crowding it.

We would put it on a living room mantelpiece, where the large numerals read easily from across the room, or on a hallway console, a dressing table or a study desk. Its quartz movement is silent, so there is no tick to notice in a quiet room, which makes it a good choice for a bedroom or a reading corner. The handle on top means you can lift it from one room to another when you fancy a change, and the clear sides let the light pass through so it never looks heavy on a narrow shelf.

It runs on two AA batteries (MN1500), and both are included, so it is ready to set straight from the box. The analogue face keeps things simple: set the hands once and the quartz movement does the rest. For care, dust the case with a soft dry cloth and wipe the clear panels gently with a slightly damp cloth, drying them afterwards so no marks are left. The bright silver finish and sparkling drops make it a lovely gift for anyone who likes a classic clock, and at home it looks well flanked by framed photographs on a mantelpiece.
