Maude French Provincial Oval Wall Clock, Roman Numerals 60cm

A giant pocket watch for the wall, timber and zinc with Paris on the face.

Maude is an oval wall clock built like an oversized pocket watch. A natural fir frame rings an open skeleton dial, with galvanised metal Roman numerals and a turned black crown and loop at the top. The centre carries faux-antique Paris lettering. It measures 60 cm across.

The frame is natural fir timber and the numerals are light galvanised metal, so the silver-grey of the dial sits against the warm pine. It runs on a quartz battery movement. Hang it in a kitchen, hallway or living room as a working feature. For indoor use.

Why we love it

• ◆ Oversized pocket-watch look, the black crown and loop at the top turn a wall clock into a talking point.
• ◆ Timber and zinc, the natural fir frame against galvanised numerals suits farmhouse, industrial and French country rooms.
• ◆ Open skeleton dial, the cut-out numerals show the wall behind for a light, airy face.
• ◆ Working feature at 60 cm, big enough to read across a room and earn a wall on its own.

How to style it

A clock earns its keep, so put Maude where you actually look for the time.

• Hang it in a kitchen or over a console in a hallway
• Centre it on a feature wall as the main piece
• Group it with wall decor and a mirror for a collected wall
• Keep the wall colour plain so the skeleton numerals read clearly

Care & Keeping

Dust the frame and numerals with a soft dry cloth. The galvanised metal is for indoor use, so keep it dry to avoid spotting. Replace the battery once a year or when the clock slows. Hang it with fixings rated for the weight.

Because Maude is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
