Past Finds

The RetroTime Past Finds is a curated record of the vintage and mid-century modern pieces that have passed through our hands and gone on to homes, interiors, and collections across the UK, US, and beyond. The individual items shown here are no longer available, but the archive serves as an ongoing reference for the character, quality, and range of pieces we source and sell.

The archive spans British and European clocks, vintage lighting, and decorative textiles from the 1950s through to the 1980s — the core decades of mid-century modern design. Pieces include wall clocks, mantel clocks, pendant lights, table lamps, and textile wall art, many by named makers including Metamec, Anstey & Wilson, Junghans, Kienzle, Smiths, Westclox, and Wedgwood, alongside lighting by makers working in teak, ceramic, and spun metal typical of the period.

Interior designers, collectors, and enthusiasts often use the archive as a visual reference when identifying makers, periods, or styles for a project or collection. Full photography and specifications remain visible to support this.

Although these pieces have already found new homes, we regularly source similar items. Current available stock can be browsed across our Vintage Clocks, Vintage Lighting, and Textile Wall Art collections — with new pieces added as they come in.

If a piece in the archive fits a brief you're working on, get in touch — we're happy to help source something similar.
