The Talus Grandfather Clock is unlike any other grandfather clock you've ever seen before; Modern in its simplicity but also rustic with references to prehistoric times, the thoughtful design of this piece makes it truly a work of art. This statement piece is perfect for art and history enthusiasts. Clock Design: The metal throughout this clock has an aged iron finish with antique gold accents and a wooden base finished in amber brown. The pendulum is also finished in aged iron and includes a faux stone pendulum bob with antique gold-finished bindings. For extra safety, floor glides provide stability and protection on non-carpeted surfaces. Dial Design: The large, eye-catching, 24" dial features four antique gold-finished Roman numerals at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 positions, with the hour and minute hands also finished in antique gold. The dial is mounted to the tall metal rod that connects to the wooden base and is entirely see-through, with no back. Quartz Movement: This floor clock has a battery-powered quartz movement which requires one AA battery and two C-sized batteries (not included).
