Vintage Mid_Century Gold Metamec Starburst Wall Clock, 1960s

About the Item

For sale is a Mid-Century Modernist ‘Starburst’ or 'Sunburst' wall clock by Metamec, England and dating from the 1960s. The clock keeps good time and is in good vintage condition, with wear and patina commensurate with age, which includes some minor marks and scratches and some patination to the brass rim. Metamec was a manufacturer of domestic clocks in the second half of the 20th century and was based in Dereham, Norfolk, England. The name "Metamec" is derived from "metal-work and mechanics". The company started as an offshoot of the furniture manufacturer Jentique in 1941, which made boxes for instruments and bombs during World War II. They became a manufacturer of the now iconic large 'Sunburst' chrome, teak and brass clocks. Metamec was the largest clock manufacturer in the UK at the time.
