An English-made Skeleton Clock. Time-only. 223060.

This is an attractive Skeleton clock. The white marble base is elevated on four marble pad feet. The platform is oval-shaped and is stepped to hold the glass dome. The dome is a dust cover and protects the mechanism from dust and other contaminants. It also lets one view the clock and its movement from all angles. This dome is original. 

The gothic-shaped brass frames of the skeleton clock movement are mounted to the base. The predominant feature in the design of the frames is individual spires. The pierced framing supports the hardened steel shafts and brass gearing. The decorative scrolling of the plates exposes the internal workings of the gear train. This is a single-train design. It features an anchor escapement and fusee-regulated spring power. This clock is designed to run for eight days on a full wind. The silvered brass dial features painted Roman-style hour numerals—the brass-faced pendulum swings behind the movement.

This clock is approximately 14 inches tall without the dome, 9 inches wide at the base, and 5 inches deep. It was made in 1885.
