Roger Lascelles TIN/Herbes in Vintage and Shabby-Chic Style

To continue getting into the spring spirit and the good weather that comes with it, we recommend our watch of the week, the Roger Lascelles TIN/HERBES. A very romantic and playful vintage wall clock that spreads good cheer! The kitchen wall clock with floral motifs is perfectly in tune with spring, but also fits perfectly all year round with a vintage or shabby chic interior.

Where do vintage and shabby chic come from?

Vintage

Vintage comes from English and means "old-fashioned," "old," "classic," or "from a certain era." In clothing, furniture, musical instruments, jewelry, accessories, pictures, vehicles, or other everyday items, vintage refers to an appearance that looks as if the item was bought at a flea market or inherited. In fashion, vintage means a garment from an earlier collection by a designer. The term probably derives from use in oenology, where vintage refers to the year or harvest of a wine.

Shabby chic

Shabby chic, also from English, means "shabby," "run-down," or "dilapidated" and describes an interior design style in which a mix of heirlooms, flea market finds, and handmade pieces, as well as furniture and objects with visible signs of wear, are part of the concept. The style also includes soft, faded colors in natural tones, simple patterns, and plain flooring made of hardwood, sisal, or other natural materials.

Our Roger Lascelles TIN/HERBES

Our watch of the week is not only a vintage clock, a romantic clock, and an antique-look clock, but also a cute kitchen clock. The Roger Lascelles wall clock consists of a case that also serves as the dial. This case is made of metal and has a plate-like shape. Another feature that makes it well suited as a kitchen clock. On a diameter of 34.5 cm, this plate shape has been decorated with all kinds of herbs, blossoms, and leaves. In addition, the words "Les herbes de Provence" are displayed above the wall clock in flowing script. This means "The herbs of Provence." The hands and Arabic numerals are also black and vintage.
