Description
This vintage tractor mantel clock turns a working farm favourite into a timepiece for the mantelpiece. Made from metal in a black finish with a distressed, vintage look, it takes the form of an old tractor in profile, complete with a tall exhaust stack, a steering wheel, a spoked front wheel and a large ridged rear wheel that holds the clock face. The cream dial carries bold Roman numerals and black hands, so the time reads clearly at a glance. It stands 25.7cm high, 40cm wide and 19.3cm deep, a generous size that fills a mantel shelf without crowding it.
Being free standing, it needs no wall and no fixings: simply set it on a mantelpiece, a deep shelf, a sideboard or a dresser where it can be seen side on. At 40cm wide it makes a natural centrepiece for a shelf, and its 19.3cm depth needs a surface with a little room to spare. The aged black metal and cream face suit a farmhouse kitchen, a country-style sitting room, a study or a boot room, and the tractor's playful outline brings a touch of humour to a room that could otherwise feel a little serious.
Inside is a quartz movement driving the analogue hands, and the clock takes the AA battery type, also known as LR6 or MN1500. Batteries are not included, so keep one to hand before it takes its place. The distressed black finish gives the metal a well-used farmyard look. To keep it at its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. Set a few old books, an enamel jug or a sprig of dried wheat either side, and the tractor becomes the heart of a country-style mantel arrangement.
