ANTIQUE WALL CLOCKWhen in the market for an antique wall clock you might find yourself spending a lot of time searching for the right style for your home. There are plenty of options available and you can find a number of different looks as well as a lot of different sizes for your interior.
I had my heart set on getting one of these timepieces for my own house but I had no idea what challenge I was about to face. The challenge is a combined problem of fickleness and indecision on my part. Money wasn’t really a problem because I found that if I fell in love with one antique wall clock that cost too much I could find something comparable for a reasonable price.
The great deals offered on just about every style of the classic antique wall clock just made my indecision worse. The very idea that I could have any look that I wanted for just about any price was a little overwhelming. The only way I could sort things out was to really step back and access the entire situation.
The antique wall clock that would suite my home the best would have to offer a certain character. The shape of the timepiece would have to be unusual to fit the narrow wall space that it would use and the color needed to be deep and rich to suit the rest of our interior décor. There should also be an element of music in the antique wall clock.
When I made mention of music my husband cringed with thoughts of annoying chimes going off all day long. He also pictured a cuckoo bird poking its little head out of a set of swinging doors as well. The antique wall clock with a musical element that I had in mind was quite different much to my husband’s relief.
I settled on a banjo style antique wall clock that is in the classic style. The dial is painted in zinc and there is a substantial iron weight in the timepiece. The mahogany wood is ideal for our décor and the relatively narrow shape of the antique wall clock is perfect for the space. I just couldn’t imagine another item in its place.
When you are shopping for an item like this it is good practice to step back and consider your home as well as your personal style. I found my ideal antique wall clock in no time once I took these things into consideration.
