We have sold several of these skeletonized clocks in the last couple of years. This is a well made clock, unsigned and un-numbered with delicate wheel work, and silk thread pendulum with grid decorations and a cast head of Aurora, with fine detail. The overall design is quite simple, with graduated columns rising from an oval plinth, and carrying the movement between them at the top, the columns surmounted with turned finials. The fine porcelain dial has a chip in the outer margin near 1. The original hands are finely pierced and gilded. Height 11.5 inches
