FAQs

A skeleton clock is a timepiece designed with open plates and bridges to display the internal mechanical movement, which gained significant popularity during the Victorian era as both scientific instruments and decorative objects.

These clocks typically feature brass or gilt-bronze for the open-worked movement plates and gear trains, mounted on a wooden or marble base, and traditionally protected by a hand-blown glass dome.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-cut brass wheels, fire-gilded or polished brass components, intricate architectural frameworks, and are housed under period blown glass with minor imperfections on a wooden plinth.

Place the clock prominently on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or study desk where natural light can highlight the intricate internal gearwork through the glass dome.

They require periodic professional servicing by a horologist for cleaning and oiling, alongside careful handling and regular winding using the correct key.
