English Scroll and Leaf Skeleton Clock by Evans of Handsworth
The renowned Evans of Handsworth crafted this artful and elegant timepiece. Heavy scroll and leaf style plates make up the frame. The clock survives with the original rare Roman numeral porcelain dial to display the time. The eight day single train chain driven fusée movement maintains consistent speed as the clock unwinds, ideal for reliable timekeeping. The clock resides under a glass dome on a velvet lined wood base.
Evans of Handsworth held a place as one of the most renowned makers of English skeleton clocks in the late 19th century. Known to produce some of the most complex and extravagant timepieces, Evans clocks have become some of the most highly desirable skeleton clocks on the market today.
A fully restored movement powers this timepiece. The clock comes with a one year warranty.
