Description

A very good quality Victorian skeleton clock made by Edwards of Stourbridge and retailed by Manoah Rhodes of Bradford circa 1850

The 8 day timepiece fusee movement (chain driven) with six spoke wheels to the train, and skeletonised barrel, fronted by a narrow shaped silvered engraved brass chapter ring, signed to the lower edge M Rhodes Bradford, blued steel hands.

The high quality workmanship of the movement highlighted by detailed work to the pendulum and escapement.

The original rosewood veneered base with velvet pad, under the original oval glass dome.

The scroll shaped framework to the clock is typical of the design used by James Edwards of Stourbridge and can be safely attributed to his workshops

Height: 11.5" including dome

Width: 7.5"

Depth: 5"

Overall this is a beautiful quality skeleton clock in fine original condition.

The clock has been sympathetically cleaned and the movement fully restored to a high standard by our FBHI restorer with 12 months guarantee.
