Square Roman Numeral Mantel Clock with Stand 17.6cm - Silver

This square mantel clock pairs a bright silver frame with a black dial and bold white Roman numerals, set between the two uprights of a matching silver stand. The case measures 17cm tall, 17.6cm wide and 5.3cm deep, a compact size that sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, shelf or desk without crowding it. The square face carries a full ring of fine minute markers inside the numerals, and slim silver hands sweep from a neat central boss, so the time reads clearly at a glance. The clock is held on a pivot at each side of the stand.

It is a natural fit for a living room mantelpiece, where the black dial and silver frame sit happily against a dark wall or a pale one. In a study or home office it keeps the hours on the desk, and on a bedroom chest of drawers or a hallway console it adds a crisp, tailored note. The clean square lines and classic numerals suit traditional and modern rooms alike, and because it stands on its own, it is just as happy on a bookshelf as on a sideboard. It also makes a considered gift for anyone who appreciates a well-kept mantelpiece.

The clock runs on one AA battery, the MN1500 size, which is easy to find and quick to change when the time comes. As a freestanding piece it needs no wall fixing or drilling: simply set it on a flat, level surface. The back is finished in black, and the broad silver base of the stand gives it a steady footing. To keep the finish bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull a shiny surface. For a balanced look, centre it on a mantelpiece between a pair of candlesticks; wrapped with a card, it makes a gift used every day.
