Description
This mantel clock takes the shape of a classic bicycle, with its round clock face set where the rear wheel would be. The frame is a soft cream with a distressed vintage finish. Gold picks out the rim of the dial, the front wheel's spokes, the round chainring and the top of the handlebars, while the saddle and grips are darker. The dial carries large Arabic numerals over a pale board design, with an illustrated bicycle and a posy of flowers beneath the printed words FLEURISTE DE PARIS. Ornate black hands turn from a gold centre. It stands 18cm high, 30cm wide and 5cm deep.
Its slim 5cm depth means it sits on a narrow mantelpiece, a windowsill or a bookshelf, and its long, low outline suits a sideboard, a desk or a bedside table. The cream and gold colouring and the Parisian florist lettering suit a farmhouse or vintage scheme, while the bicycle outline is playful enough for a hallway or a kitchen shelf. Because it stands on its own, it needs no wall and no fixings, so you can move it from room to room whenever you fancy a change. The bicycle design is a cheerful nod to days out on two wheels, and it makes an easy choice when you want a gift with a little character.
The clock runs on a quartz movement for steady timekeeping. It is powered by two AA batteries, which are not included, so have a pair ready to fit. The distressed vintage finish gives the cream and gold a gently worn look. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep harsh cleaners away from the finish. Set it at one end of a mantelpiece beside a jug of fresh flowers or a stack of books, and it brings a touch of Parisian charm to the room.
