We are redecorating our family room after doing a remodel and this is the first piece we hung on the walls.  It is beautiful!! It looks much like an antique and has a cute whimsical touch with the bird on top. We like the size-we wanted a clock large enough to see from our adjoining kitchen and this works well. We also like that it is silent and keeps good time. It does have touches of red on the outside of the frame but that is no problem for me. They are subtle and not really visible once it is hanging on the wall.
