This is a lovely piece of art that just happens to be a clock. It's a good size and is wonderful to look at as you approach the top of the stairs. I hung it high because it has the light switch below it and I didn't want anyone's hands hitting it when they were looking for the switch. I like the glossy, reflective finish. I love the soft, swirly colors. It pulls the greens,  greys and golds that are in the room but also blends into the white/greige walls, at the same time. Gorgeous piece; I'm glad I went with it. It also goes with my piano bench that's right around the corner. [Unable to upload the photos for some reason - keeps saying "Error creating directory for file storage."]
