I brought this clock for my daughter to hang over her fireplace.  The wall is is painted red and this clock makes a nice contrast to it.   The colors are black and brass which is very nice. The only negative thing I have to say is the hands will need to be painted.as they do not match the rest of the clock.  It is a perfect size for a large wall.  I am happy the 4 symbol is actually the real roman numeral symbol and not IIII.  I would recommend this item.  Perfect for the price and it was on sale.  Shipping was excellent as everything was in tack.  Delivery came early than what was first indicated.
