Lot 399: An Assortment of Decorative Collectibles including a Metamec Mantel Clock and Commemorative Plate
An assortment of decorative and household collectibles. The lot includes a Metamec quartz mantel clock, featuring a rectangular wood-effect case with a brass-tone swing handle to the top. The dial displays Roman numerals and is marked METAMEC QUARTZ and MADE IN ENGLAND. Also included is a porcelain cabinet plate on a black display stand, featuring a monochrome transfer print depicting St Martin’s Church, Bladon, within a green foliate and gilt-trimmed border. A tall bronze-tone Egyptian figure depicts a standing deity in traditional regalia with arms crossed, mounted on a polished pale onyx-style rectangular base. The collection further comprises a cased set of white metal flatware presented in a black box with a red satin-lined interior, a wooden model of a three-masted sailing ship with rigging and cream-coloured sails, a tall cylindrical chrome-plated object with a flared and stepped base, and a small hand-painted ceramic figurine of a seated figure with a stringed instrument.
