31393C.S
A FINE ENGLISH ARABESQUE STYLE SKELETON CLOCK. CIRCA 1865.

An extremely attractive arabesque style skeleton timepiece. The triple plated movement, beautifully fretted out and with seven nicely shaped pillars, has a chain fusee movement and all the wheelwork has six crossings.

The dial is also nicely fretted out with engraved detailing between each of the numbers. The blued steel hands are of an unusual design.

The clock has the typical ebony rod pewter pendulum found on many of these clocks. The clock is mounted on a white marble base and covered by a glass dome.

Height excluding dome: 16.25" (41 cms.)

Price band: B

Many of these clocks were made by Evans of Handsworth and from the style of the plates and movement we would attribute this clock to them as well.

For a similar clock see 'British Skeleton Clocks' by Derek Roberts, page 150.
