Pitched Roof Quartz Wooden Cuckoo Wall Clock - Mahogany

This wooden cuckoo wall clock is shaped like a little house, with a pitched roof of layered shingle-style tiles and broad leaves sculpted across the front, all in a rich mahogany colour. At its heart sits a black dial with clear white Roman numerals, white hands and a gold-tone centre, so the time reads easily at a glance. Under the roof, a pair of shuttered doors opens on a cheerful yellow bird with a green wing. Below the case, chains hang down either side of a pendulum that ends in a leaf, two of them finished with pine cone weights. The clock measures 27cm high, 21cm across and 12.5cm deep.

It suits a hallway, a living room, a kitchen or a landing, anywhere a traditional clock with a little character feels at home. As it hangs on a hook, choose a spot with clear space beneath it so the chains and weights can fall freely. At 12.5cm deep it sits neatly against the wall without crowding a narrow passage. The analogue face and Roman numerals give it a classic look that sits happily alongside wooden furniture, warm paint colours and cottage or country interiors, while its chime adds a friendly sound to the day.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time, powered by three C batteries (MN1300), so there is nothing to wind. On the side of the case sits a small panel with a volume dial alongside reset and adjust buttons, so you can set how loud the chime sounds for the room it hangs in. To keep the wood looking its best, dust the case, roof and leaves with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp and direct heat. Hung where the family passes every day or given as a gift with real character, it is a clock we think brings a cheerful touch of tradition to any wall.
