Description
This steampunk skull and spider wall clock sets a cream Roman numeral dial into the crown of a sculpted resin skull, finished in aged silver with gold detailing. A jointed mechanical spider sprawls across the face below the dial, its gold legs ringed with tiny bands and cogs, while small gears peer out of the eye sockets and finned wings sweep out to either side. A gold bezel frames the dial, and slim gold pipework curls over the top of the skull. It measures 28cm high, 20.5cm wide and 4cm deep, so it reads clearly from across a room without crowding a wall.
It is as much a piece of wall art as a clock, and it suits anywhere you want a little drama: a study, a hallway, a games room or a reading nook with a darker, gothic feel. At 4cm deep it sits close to the wall, so it works in a narrow passage or above a desk where a bulkier piece would get in the way. The Roman numerals and dark hands keep the time easy to read at a glance, and the silver and gold sit well with dark paint, exposed brick or wood panelling. As a gift, it is both useful and a real talking point.
The clock is made from resin, which holds the fine detail of the cogs, springs and spider's joints, and the back is a flat panel with a single keyhole slot, so it hangs from one screw or sturdy picture hook. To care for it, dust gently with a soft dry cloth, using a soft brush to reach between the legs and gears, and keep it away from damp. Hang it at eye level where the light catches the silver and gold, and leave a little bare wall around it so the outline of the wings and legs stands out.
