Scatter Diamante Square Mantel Clock with Stand - Silver

This square mantel clock pairs a mirrored silver face with a scatter of clear diamante that drifts from the top corner, down the left side and out along the base. At its centre sits a square white dial with black Roman numerals, slim black hands and a polished silver centre cap, so the time reads clearly at a glance against all that sparkle. It is a compact piece, 12.8cm tall and 12.8cm wide, and 4.8cm deep, which keeps it neat on a narrow shelf. The stones vary in size, from tiny points of light to larger rounded drops, and the bevelled edge around the face catches the light as you move past it.

As its name suggests, it is made for the mantelpiece, but its small footprint means it works as well on a bedside table, a dressing table, a hallway console or a desk. The mirrored face picks up the colours and light of the room around it, so it sits happily with silver, white, grey and soft neutral schemes, and it adds a little glamour to a guest bedroom or a dressing area without taking over the space. Because it stands on its own, there is no drilling and no hook to find: simply set it down where you can see it and move it whenever you fancy a change.

Behind the face, a white stand gives the clock its footing and lets it sit upright on a flat surface, with the movement tucked into the back for easy setting. The mirrored front is best kept clean with a soft, dry cloth, and we would avoid sprays or anything abrasive near the diamante. For a gift, it is a pretty and practical choice that needs no thought about wall space, and on a mantelpiece it looks lovely flanked by candles or a pair of small photo frames in the same silver tone.
