Pierre French Provincial Wall Clock, Carved Whitewashed Floral Panel on Natural Fir 80cm

An 80 cm wall clock with a whitewashed carved floral panel running through warm fir wood, more architectural fragment than timekeeper.

Pierre is a large oversized wall clock built from solid fir wood planks with a central panel of carved floral scrollwork finished in distressed whitewash. The carved panel runs the full height of the face, with raised numerals at 12 and 6 picked out in a soft warm tone against the whitewash. White painted batons mark the hour positions across the natural wood sections, and slim black iron hands sweep across the top.

At 80 cm in diameter, Pierre reads as an architectural piece rather than a functional clock, the kind of thing you might find rescued from an old French farmhouse or chapel. The carved panel is the visual hook, hand-finished with enough variation that no two pieces are identical. This is a premium piece in limited supply, so each will find a particular home rather than a general one.

Why we love it

• ◆ Carved central panel, intricate floral scrollwork finished in distressed whitewash, the focal feature of the entire piece
• ◆ Statement 80 cm scale, sized to anchor a feature wall, dining room, or entry on its own without needing additional decor
• ◆ Solid plank construction, built from full-width fir wood planks with visible grain, knots, and natural character on the face
• ◆ Limited stock, only a few pieces in this shipment, the kind of clock that earns a wait

How to style it

Pierre's scale and carved detail call for a deliberate position, here are a few placements:

• Hang above a long console or sideboard in a French country dining room, the warm fir picks up natural timber furniture beneath
• Mount in a high-ceilinged hallway or entry as the single statement piece, with simple styling so Pierre holds the wall on his own
• Place above a mantel or fireplace as a focal point, paired with a tall framed mirror on the adjacent wall for balance
• Pair against a darker wall colour, sage, dusty blue, or warm charcoal, to make the carved whitewash panel really sing
