A perfectly designed mid-century modern wall clock by Arthur Umanoff for George Nelson Associates for the powerhouse clock maker Howard Miller, likely from the 1970s. A model 517, it has a black face with white numbers, a rattan case, and orange hands.
Arthur Umanoff (1923-1985) was a prolific mid-century designer whose designs include, in addition to many clocks, a range of décor items, home and office furniture, bars and barstools, and patio furniture. Howard Miller was founded in 1926 and, starting in 1947, produced a huge number of collectible modern design clocks by George Nelson Associates. At that time, Nelson was also Director of Design at Herman Miller Furniture Company.
