Royal Albert Old Country Roses Victorian Counter Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased from an auction a beautiful revival antique Tuscan-style vanity table and bench (think ocre color with hand painted flowers on the legs and front) and wanted to use this in a nook in my library as a writing desk. In order to keep track of time I looked for an appropriate era clock. Although this clock is Victorian-style, is a bit bigger than I imagined and the clock movement is very chinzy feeling to the touch, I freely admit that dang!, it does look GREAT on the desk. Therefore, as long as no one picks it up to admire it and discover that it is a cheap knockoff, no one would be the wiser.
UPDATE (August 27, 2010): I'm sorry to say but this sucker is a P.O.S. It doesn't keep time and it is practically impossible to remove the clock face which holds the batteries without breaking the sucker. While it is still pretty, I have no idea what time it is while I'm seated at my desk.
