Description
This wooden mantel clock with a pendulum gives a mantelpiece, shelf or sideboard a properly traditional centre. The rectangular case is brown with a gloss finish, rising from a stepped base on small bracket feet to a moulded top, and ornate pillars at each front corner add leaf and scroll detail. A shaped window with a softly arched top frames the white dial, which has a gold patterned centre, bold black Arabic numerals and ornate black hands, with a round gold-toned pendulum bob hanging beneath. It stands 32cm tall, 25.5cm wide and 12cm deep.
At 12cm deep it sits comfortably on most mantel shelves, and the large Arabic numerals read clearly from across a living room or dining room. It is just as much at home on a sideboard, a bookcase or a study desk, or on a hallway console where a clock is glanced at on the way out of the door. The rich brown wood and gold-toned details suit a traditional or country-style room, and they sit well beside warm timber furniture, brass and soft lamplight. For anyone who loves a classic clock on the mantelpiece, it makes a thoughtful gift for the home.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time, powered by two AA batteries that are included, so there is no flex to run to a socket and you can place it wherever it suits the room. The wooden case carries a gloss finish that gives the brown a gentle sheen. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid sprays or harsh cleaners on the gloss surface. Set it centrally on the mantelpiece between a pair of candlesticks or framed photographs for a balanced, traditional look.
