Looking for a large, decorative wall clock – or perhaps a pendulum wall clock? Then we, at Decorative Artefacts can help. Our hand made, hand finished, decorative case clocks are designed with and without pendulum movements and we are confident in our belief that our clocks are destined to be the antiques of the future.

For a unifying stylistic theme for my Decorative Case Clocks Collection I’ve adopted the major European decorative art movements as their inspiration. I believe this gives them their timeless appeal and a beauty that will add a note of Gothic drama or classical elegance to the decor of any room -making them an ideal gift or a wonderful, stylish focal point in any room.

Far from ever being happy with any of my work, as a craftsman and by definition a ‘perfectionist’ you’re never happy and always trying to improve on what you’ve done before. It’s one of the great benefits of making hand made pendulum clocks (and there aren’t many in this day and age!) that every time you are asked to make another case clock you have that chance to improve and refine on the last one you made. This means each pendulum wall clock goes through a process of refinement. Below you’ll see the evolution that my Little Ben pendulum clock has gone through.

The other testimony to my genuine wish to improve my work is that I would welcome any views or thoughts on ways in which I may improve any of my work that you may have. There is a notable saying that ?one never designs in a vacuum’. This is self evidently true but I do feel it does not apply to me at times as I never get to see or communicate with people who buy my clocks as I have, up until now, sold my creations through galleries. I’m hoping this blog and my new website will end this isolation and provide me with a rich source of feedback on my work.

Anyway back to those Case Clocks. With the Credit Crunch slowing things down, I’ve had the opportunity to carry out a major re-styling exercise one or two of my large decorative wall clocks and one such clock is my Gothic Case pendulum wall clock -see the results below.

The Palladian Case clock is next of my large wall clocks to get the same make-over treatment. Stay posted and let me know if you have any suggestions!

All of my clocks are handmade and finished individually, so no two clocks are the same. I offer a wide range of designer handmade clock designs and one of my most popular collections are my bespoke square gilt clocks.

My range of square clocks make the ideal lounge, hall or kitchen clock with their clean, simple, geometric form which allows the qualities of our unique gilded finishes to be shown off to best advantage. I have a wide range of bespoke square clocks to choose from, featuring both Arabic and Roman numerals and an array of finishes, including the square gilded clock with the 12 in large roman numerals featured on the right.

Our Square Clocks with a Large Roman 12 Dial are available in a choice of three finishes:

Speckled Gold

Pastel Gold

Metallic Blue

The handmade clocks are 190cm x 190cm and retail and are available at only £70.50 each. The Square Clock with a Large Roman 12 takes two weeks for our craftsmen to create this beautiful designer clock, so if you are investing in this clock as a gift, ensure that you order in plenty of time, as this isn’t an off-the-shelf product.
