Description

Hi

The clock is in solid brass and stands 32cm high to the top of the dome 20cm wide on the gilded base with a depth of 15cm it is in perfect condition standing on a solid wooden base which is gilded and contained in the mint old blown glass dome, it is very heavy with thick heavy plates, a top quality old clock.

The Dial

The dial is in good original condition with black Roman numerals, the clock also retains its original black/blue steel ornate hands.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day time only, the movement has been fully restored new spring was added and then serviced so keeping a great time over the eight days via the original pendulum and is a chain-driven fusee movement.

The six-spoke wheel work is so fine a credit to its maker.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A skeleton clock is a timepiece constructed with pierced plates and an exposed frame to reveal its internal gearing. English models from the nineteenth century frequently employ a fusee mechanism, which uses a spiralled cone to equalise the force exerted by the mainspring as it unwinds.

These clocks are predominantly constructed from cut and polished brass plates, steel arbors, and pinions. Dials often feature silvered brass chapter rings with engraved numerals, while the entire movement rests on a velvet-lined wood or marble base inside a protective glass cloche dome.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut brass wheelwork, traditional fusee chain or gut drive systems, and hand-engraved Roman or Arabic numerals on silvered dials. Original glass domes will often display slight air bubbles or weight variations typical of nineteenth-century glassblowing.

Position the timepiece as a central focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or library shelf. The exposed brass mechanism provides industrial texture and classical interest, complementing dark wooden surfaces or clean contemporary backdrop walls.

Keep the glass dome secured over the movement to prevent dust accumulation and reduce brass oxidisation. The mechanical movement should be serviced and oiled by a professional horologist every three to five years to ensure proper operation.
