{"product_id":"horloge-murale-arbre-de-vie-metal","title":"Metal Tree of Life Wall Clock | Sylva","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA metal tree of life wall clock that's as much artwork as it is timepiece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat strikes you first is the density of the pattern. The branches curl, loop back on themselves, and reach out towards the edge of the dial, yet the whole design stays perfectly legible. Against a white wall, the cut-out structure casts shadows that shift with the daylight. It's not quite the same object at 9am as it is at 4pm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Metal Tree of Life Wall Clock\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs two materials you don't often see together on this kind of design. The central disc in \u003cstrong\u003elight oak-toned wood\u003c\/strong\u003e breaks up the continuity of the anthracite metal. It marks the heart of the trunk, the exact point the swirling branches spring from, and the white hands stand out against it with real clarity. This wooden disc is no mere accessory — it gives the piece a warmth that metal alone couldn't achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArabic numerals run around the outer ring in a style that nods to old-fashioned typography without feeling fussy. They're sized to stay readable even when the eye is drawn to the swirls at the centre. The balance between legibility and ornament has clearly been considered, and it shows: you can read the time at a glance, with no effort at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 34cm version, this clock sits comfortably in a hallway, above a desk, or in a corner without taking over the wall. At 40cm, it takes on a different presence altogether — one suited to a living room or entrance hall where it can be seen from across the room. Both sizes retain the same level of detail in the cut-out design, which is rarely the case with intricately patterned clocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis style of clock works well in interiors that already feature greenery, rattan or raw wood. It settles in effortlessly. But it also holds its own on a bare wall, since the metal cut-out has plenty of character and doesn't need a busy backdrop.

It lets the wall show through behind it. Depending on the wall colour, the effect changes. Against off-white, the swirling branches stand out sharply. Against dark grey or bottle green, the anthracite metal blends in more and it's the central wooden disc that catches the eye first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe white hands\u003c\/strong\u003e play a precise role in this balance. Against such a dense pattern, dark hands would get lost among the branches. The choice of white keeps them instantly easy to spot without having to hunt for the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHanging requires just a single wall fixing. The quartz movement is discreet, silent on most models, and a standard battery provides several months of use. That kind of detail matters when the clock is placed in a bedroom or study where quiet counts. The Metal Tree of Life Wall Clock goes up, gets set once, and simply keeps ticking. What's left is the pattern on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"34cm","offer_id":54706713788754,"sku":null,"price":69.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"40cm","offer_id":54706713821522,"sku":null,"price":84.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1110\/0291\/1058\/files\/horloge-murale-arbre-de-vie_939b4793-1599-4817-924b-c21f3dd2b319.jpg?v=1789245076","url":"https:\/\/harringtonclocks.com\/products\/horloge-murale-arbre-de-vie-metal","provider":"Harrington Clocks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
