FAQs

Regular professional servicing by a horologist is necessary to clean and oil the delicate movement, while the glass dome should be carefully handled and cleaned with mild glass cleaner to protect the brass from tarnishing.

Placed upon a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table, a skeleton clock serves as a focal point that contrasts contemporary minimalist decor with intricate mechanical texture and historic elegance.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-cut wheel teeth, fire-gilded or polished brass components, signature engravings on the backplate or dial, and minor irregularities characteristic of 19th-century hand assembly.

These clocks typically feature brass or gilt-bronze for the intricate framework and gear wheels, mounted on a wooden base (frequently ebonised or mahogany) and protected by a hand-blown glass dome.

A skeleton clock is a timepiece designed with an open framework, exposing the gear train and mechanical movement to view, which became highly popular during the Victorian era as a showcase of horological craftsmanship.
