Ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA bold, sculptural sunburst that still holds its own on a wall six decades on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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 and brass dials. 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 sitting rooms. Original examples are increasingly sought after by mid-century collectors, and this piece retains its maker's signature on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Styling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this example apart from the more common single-spike sunburst is its layered, geometric point design — each teak \"petal\" is faceted into two overlapping diamond shapes, giving the whole piece a fuller, more flower-like silhouette than a plain dagger-ray starburst. The teak has a warm honey-brown tone that pairs beautifully with the brushed brass rays, case, and dial, while bold black Roman numerals and a stepped seconds hand give the face real presence under the domed glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 43cm across, it's a genuine statement piece without tipping into oversized — substantial enough to anchor a hallway, living room, or dining wall, but easy to hang without specialist fixings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\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\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 points, brass case and dial\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)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew silent quartz, hands remade to match the original design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGeometric flower\/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\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis clock has been fitted with a brand new silent quartz movement and new hands remade to match the originals, including a stepped seconds hand, so it keeps perfect time with no ticking.
