Description
This square mantel clock pairs a warm brown walnut effect case with a clean white dial, bringing a traditional note to any shelf. Bold black Roman numerals mark the hours, a fine minute track runs around the edge with every fifth minute numbered, and a pair of black spade hands sweep over a plain centre circle. Fluted columns run up each side of the case, framed by a stepped, moulded top and a matching base that rests on four gold-coloured feet. It stands 19.5cm high, 20cm wide and 9.5cm deep, so it reads clearly from across a room without crowding a narrow mantelpiece.
A mantel clock is made for the mantelpiece, but this one is just as much at home on a sideboard, a bookcase, a hall table or a desk in a study. The walnut effect finish and Roman dial suit period homes and traditional living rooms, and the warm brown tone sits comfortably alongside wood furniture, leather and well-filled bookshelves in a newer space too. The Westminster chime brings a familiar sound to the room, a detail that helps a house feel settled and lived in. Because the case is a neat square, it looks as balanced at the centre of a shelf as it does to one side beside a lamp or a pair of candlesticks.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time, powered by three AA batteries of the MN1500 type, so there is no winding and no cable to hide. That means it can stand on any flat surface 9.5cm deep or more, away from a socket. To keep the case looking its best, we suggest dusting it with a soft dry cloth and keeping it out of strong direct sunlight. As a gift, it suits almost any traditional room, and is a fine choice for someone who loves a mantelpiece dressed properly.
