Description
This arched wooden mantel clock pairs a warm brown wood frame with a round black dial, gold hands and a gold pendulum that hangs in the open space beneath the face. The frame curves over the top of the dial in one smooth arch and runs down into two straight legs, so the clock stands on its own with nothing to fix to the wall. The dial is left plain, with no numbers or markers, which keeps the look clean and modern and lets the gold hands do the work. It measures 25.3cm tall, 15.5cm wide and 6.1cm deep, a neat size that fills a shelf without crowding it.
We like it on a mantelpiece, where the arch echoes the line of a fireplace, but it sits just as happily on a desk, a sideboard, a bookshelf or a bedside table. At only 6.1cm deep it suits a narrow ledge or windowsill where a bulkier clock would overhang. The mix of black, gold and warm wood works with dark furniture and pale walls alike, and sits comfortably in a living room, a study, a bedroom or a hallway. Because the dial carries no numbers, it suits anyone who prefers a calm, uncluttered face.
The frame is made of wood and the clock runs on one AA battery, which fits into the movement at the back of the dial, so there are no cables to hide and you can place it anywhere a flat surface allows. To keep it looking its best, dust the wood and the dial with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp and direct heat. Set it at the centre of a mantelpiece between a pair of candlesticks or framed prints, or stand it at one end of a desk for a tidy, balanced arrangement. It also makes a handsome present for anyone who loves clean, modern pieces.
