here's something about wall clocks. A certain kind of charm, a style, a homely statement, that is unmatched by any other item of home furnishing. Most homes have one, even if it's only in the kitchen. And if they don't have one yet, they certainly deserve one in the near future.
The variety of wall clocks available today is quite staggering. They are at home equally inside and out, and lend themselves easily to any decor style or theme. Their shapes run from banjo-style pendulum timepieces all the way to raucous, oddly-shaped digitals.
There are still wind-up types available if you search long enough, but most types are battery-operated and will run for long periods without attention. Getting your hands on an original antique will cost a pretty penny and you'll probably have to compete with a whole load of professional horologists, but copies and reproductions are first class as well as being a fraction of the price.
