Plaza Art Deco Mantel Clock - Nickel Plated Silver

The Plaza is a 34.5cm-wide nickel-plated mantel clock built around a geometric Art Deco facade with stepped vertical elements rising from a rectangular base. The clock face sits recessed within a square aperture, displaying a cream dial with black Roman numerals and black hands. A quartz movement powers the clock from inside the nickel housing.

Designed for mantelpieces, sideboards and office desks, the Plaza works in rooms where a mid-sized timepiece adds function without dominating the surface. The stepped right-hand side of the case gives the clock a directional profile, so it sits more naturally when viewed from a slight angle rather than dead-on. The 10cm depth keeps the clock stable on most surfaces without needing rear support.

The nickel plating provides a cool silver finish with a slight sheen under daylight, sitting between bright chrome and brushed steel in reflectivity. The geometric form and proportions reference 1920s-1930s American Art Deco architecture, particularly the skyscraper setback silhouettes common to that period. At 1.28kg the clock has enough weight to resist casual knocks without being difficult to relocate.

What type of movement does the clock use?

The Plaza uses a quartz movement powered by battery (battery type not specified in the product data). Quartz movements are more accurate than mechanical movements and require minimal maintenance beyond periodic battery replacement.

Does the clock tick audibly?

Most quartz movements produce a quiet tick. If you need a silent clock for a bedroom or study, contact us to confirm whether this model uses a silent sweep movement or a standard ticking mechanism.

How is the nickel finish maintained?

Wipe the nickel plating with a soft dry microfibre cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For tarnish or stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable. Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal polishes, which can damage the plating.

What surface does it suit?

The 10cm depth and 1.28kg weight make the Plaza stable on mantelpieces, sideboards, shelves and desks. The base is smooth, so consider a felt pad underneath if placing it on polished wood to prevent fine scratches.
