English London-style Scroll Frame Skeleton Clock

A handsome London-style skeleton clock exhibiting the prowess of highly skilled English clockmakers. The captivating skeleton design artfully displays the mastery and craftsmanship of intricate timekeeping movements — a symphony of gears, wheels, and levers. This fine example features an architectural structure with three spires raised on a scrolling frame, and elegantly presented on a wooden base under a blown glass dome.

Powering the clock is an eight-day single train chain driven fusée movement that maintains consistent speed as the clock unwinds, ideal for reliable timekeeping. The time displays on an elaborate pierced and silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals and bold spade and whip hands. A clear bell strike announces the hour.

Whether accenting a mantelpiece, desk, or a prominent display area, this English skeleton clock will garner attention and admiration as it embodies the perfect harmony of artistry, mechanical achievement, and horology.
