It is among the biggest examples of this British sunburst design you are likely to find. Teak finials on faux brass rods radiate from a brass-cased dial, with the original hands retained and a new silent quartz movement. 62cm (24.5 inches) across, fully working and ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA true showpiece, with real presence on a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBritish atomic-age design at full scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnstey \u0026amp; Wilson were a Birmingham-based clockmaker whose sunburst and starburst wall clocks, made through the 1960s and 70s, are now among the most sought-after pieces of British atomic-age design. At 62cm this one sits at the top end of the sizes they produced. It has an architectural scale that smaller examples can't match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTeak finials, freshly restored\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach teak finial has been stripped back and refinished in satin Osmo wax oil, which brings out the grain and warmth of the wood and leaves a protective, low-sheen finish. The brass case and bezel have been fully re-polished to bring back the warm gold glow these clocks had when new. At the centre, a brass-toned dial carries Arabic numerals in a period script. The original hands are retained, a nice point of authenticity, and are paired with a new silent quartz movement for accurate, quiet timekeeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 62cm (24.5 inch) diameter and a 17cm (6.75 inch) dial, this is as much a wall sculpture as a working clock. It anchors a room rather than just decorating it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Anstey \u0026amp; Wilson, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinials: Teak, stripped and refinished in satin Osmo wax oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase and bezel: Brass, fully re-polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHands: Original, retained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMovement: New silent quartz, fully working (one AA battery)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 62cm (24.5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDial: 17cm (6.75 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Mid century modern sunburst \/ starburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady to hang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully restored to a high standard: teak finials refinished in satin Osmo wax oil and brass case and bezel re-polished.
