Ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn icon of British mid-century design, in its rarer copper colourway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMetamec\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetamec was founded in Dereham, Norfolk in 1947 — an offshoot of wartime furniture manufacturer Jentique — and grew to become Britain's largest clock manufacturer before going into receivership in 1984. Their sunburst designs, produced during the height of the Eames era, remain among the most sought-after pieces of British atomic age design. The teak and copper colourway seen here is less commonly found than the standard teak and brass version, giving it added appeal for collectors seeking something a little different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Styling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe starburst frame features alternating teak spokes and small copper-toned rays, with a copper accent spoke set between each pair — a combination that reads warmer and more subdued than the brighter brass or chrome sunburst designs of the same era. The radiating spokes still catch the light beautifully, but the copper tone gives this example a richer, more autumnal character. This is a clock that works as much as a piece of wall sculpture as a timepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original hands have been retained and paired with a new quartz movement for reliable, low-maintenance running. Black spade hands with gold seconds, this is a ticking clock with a step seconds hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetamec, Dereham, Norfolk — Made in England\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5890 (copper variant)\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\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlternating teak spokes and copper-toned rays with copper accent spokes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44cm (17½ inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal hands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew quartz, fully working\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMid century modern starburst, Eames era, atomic age\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\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal vintage condition throughout, with the exception of a new quartz movement.
