Approx. 12.5 x 10 inches
This clock features pink roses that are delicate and light in a way that seems dreamlike in their loveliness. The time dial is the faintest pink and features easy to read numerals. Light plays on the rose petals creating an almost three dimensional quality to the illustration. The grayish green background lends a bit of sophistication to the overall color palette. A breathtaking addition to any room. Clock hands have a distressed finish.

Ancient writings are full of allusions to the Rose and fabulous accounts of its origin. From its brilliant colors, melting into each other as the shades of night melt into the glowing richness of the rising sun, it was frequently consecrated to Aurora. It was also consecrated to Harpocrates, the patron of Silence, of which it was considered the symbol. Thus the expression "sub rosa" (under the Rose), signified that all that was said should remain secret ; and there is scarcely used a more expressive device for a seal, than the simple figure of a Rose. It was the custom, in some of the northern countries, to suspend a Rose over the table in the dining-room, reminding the guests that silence should be observed respecting all that might be said during the meal.
