A Victorian skeleton clock: the eight-day duration, single chain-fusee movement having a half-dead beat escapement with a pewter cylindrical bob to the pendulum and five-spoke wheelwork, the decorative silvered dial with black Roman numerals and blued steel spade hands, with shaped brass plates, standing on a later wooden base with glass dome, height 34cm, not including base.* Notes For an almost identical clock see Derek Roberts, Skeleton Clocks, pub Antique Collectors Club 1987, page 48
