Description
Our tractor mantel clock turns a classic farm tractor into a working timepiece, with the clock face set neatly into its big rear wheel. The body is finished in green from end to end, from the long bonnet with its exhaust stack and front grille to the curved mudguard sweeping over the back wheel. A small steering wheel and seat sit behind the bonnet, and the open engine bay shows bolts, pipes and fittings picked out in silver. The front wheel has a black tyre around a white hub, and the cream dial carries large Arabic numerals, black hands and a little tractor printed in the centre beneath the words Farm Fresh. It measures 21cm high, 35cm wide and 7cm deep.
Being only 7cm deep, it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf or a deep windowsill without crowding the things around it, and it is just as much at home on a desk, a dresser or a kitchen shelf. The green body and farmyard detail suit a country kitchen, a farmhouse sitting room or a study with a rural feel, and the large numerals make the time easy to read from across the room. Because it stands on its own, there is nothing to hang and no wall to drill, so it can move from room to room.
The clock rests on its rear wheel and a slim foot beneath the front of the bonnet, so it stands steady on any flat surface, with the movement tucked away at the back of the wheel and out of sight from the front. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. Set it beside a stack of old books or a jug of wild flowers on the mantelpiece, or wrap it up as a cheerful gift that raises a smile every time someone checks the time.
