About the Item

A striking mid-20th-century sunburst wall clock, combining sculptural form with practical function in one of the most iconic decorative designs of the period. The clock is centred by a circular dial framed within a dramatic arrangement of hand-carved wooden rays of alternating lengths, creating the classic radiating sunburst silhouette. Finished in textured gilt with subtle darker shading to accentuate the carving, the frame possesses exceptional depth and visual presence. A stepped circular surround further emphasises the dial, providing an elegant contrast to the dynamic starburst form. The dial is clean and understated, featuring Arabic numerals, black hands and the inscriptions "8 Days" and "Swiss Made", indicating a Swiss eight-day mechanical movement renowned for its quality and reliability during the mid-20th century. Condition: good decorative condition, with age-related wear to the gilt finish, small losses to the tips of some rays and light patina to the dial and surround, all consistent with age. Please refer to the photographs for full condition details. Please note that the movement has not been tested, and the working order of the clock cannot be guaranteed. An iconic statement piece, ideal for collectors of mid-century modern design and decorative wall clocks. We ship internationally, tracked and insured.
