Square Roman Numeral Mantel Clock with Clear Panel - Silver

This square mantel clock puts a clean, easy-to-read dial on show within a slim silver frame. The round dial is two-tone silver, with bold black Roman numerals at twelve, three, six and nine and fine black batons marking the hours between, so the time reads at a glance from across the room. Slim hands sweep over a lighter centre circle. Four upright pillars rise between a flat base and a matching top plate, with small round caps set on top, and the dial sits in a clear panel that lets the wall or shelf behind show through. The whole clock carries a silver metallic effect finish. It stands 17.5cm tall, 16cm wide and 5.5cm deep.

At 17.5cm tall it is sized for a mantelpiece, and at 5.5cm deep it sits comfortably on a narrow shelf, a sideboard, a hallway console, a desk or a bedside table where a deeper clock would crowd the space. The clear panel keeps it light on the eye, so it settles into a modern room as easily as a more traditional one, and the silver tone sits happily alongside chrome, glass and pale wood. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift: a practical piece that earns its place on the first mantelpiece or shelf of a new house or flat, and one that will be read many times a day.

It is a freestanding clock, so it needs no wall fixing: the flat base sits squarely on any level surface, and the frame holds the dial panel upright between its pillars. Care is simple: dust the silver metallic effect finish with a soft dry cloth, and wipe the clear panel with a soft cloth to lift fingerprints. Set it at the centre of a mantelpiece between a pair of candlesticks, or wrap it as a housewarming present for someone settling into their new home.
