{"product_id":"anstey-and-wilson","title":"Anstey Wilson 1960s Teak Sunburst Wall Clock, Dark Dial, Silent Quartz","description":"\u003cp\u003e1960s Anstey \u0026amp; Wilson teak and brass sunburst wall clock, Automatic model — a classic 12-point starburst wall clock with tapered teak spikes radiating from a brass surround, paired with an unusual dark bronze-toned dial. 43cm (17 inches) diameter, 17cm (6.75 inch) dial, new silent quartz movement, fully working. Ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sunburst clock with a genuinely different face — most examples run gold or champagne, this one doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAnstey \u0026amp; Wilson\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnstey \u0026amp; Wilson were English clockmakers active through the 1960s and 70s, best known today for exactly this kind of design — sunburst and starburst wall clocks pairing warm teak \"rays\" with polished brass fittings. Alongside makers like Metamec and Smiths, Anstey \u0026amp; Wilson pieces were part of the wave of affordable, design-led wall clocks that brought a Scandinavian-influenced, atomic-age look into ordinary British homes. Original examples are increasingly sought after by mid-century collectors, and this piece retains its maker's signature and \"Automatic\" branding on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Styling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the more familiar Anstey \u0026amp; Wilson silhouette — twelve slim, tapered teak spikes forming a classic sunburst around a brass-ringed face — but the dial itself is the standout. Rather than the usual gold or champagne finish, it has a deep, dark bronze tone, giving the whole clock a moodier, more grown-up look than the typical bright mid-century sunburst. Blue-grey Roman numerals alternate with small decorative brass fan\/leaf motifs at each hour, and a bright red sweeping seconds hand adds a real pop of colour against the dark background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 43cm across, it reads as a proper wall statement without being oversized, and the darker face means it works especially well against lighter walls where a gold-dial sunburst can feel a little too bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnstey \u0026amp; Wilson, England\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1960s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\/Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurmese teak spikes, brass surround\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43cm (17 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17cm (6.75 inches), dark bronze-tone finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew silent quartz, new hands to match the original design, sweeping red seconds hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClassic 12-point sunburst\/starburst, mid-century modern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady to hang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis clock has been fitted with a brand new silent quartz movement and new hands  to match the originals, including a red sweep seconds hand, so it keeps perfect time with no ticking.
