English Victorian Era Lyre Form Skeleton Clock
This late 19th-century lyre-form skeleton clock showcases the elegance of English horology and the sculptural beauty of exposed mechanics. Its pierced and scrolling brass plates trace the silhouette of a classical lyre, allowing the viewer to admire every gear and angle as the movement comes to life.
At the front, a delicately fretted Roman numeral chapter ring encircles the movement, offering crisp contrast against the warm brass beneath. The clock is an 8-day timepiece powered by a fusee mechanism, utilized for its steady, reliable power delivery and its role in the finest English clocks of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The composition rests gracefully on a velvet-covered platform atop a polished wooden base and is protected by its original glass dome. Fully restored and offered with a one-year warranty, it presents beautifully: a harmonious blend of engineering and art, refinement and transparency.
This marvelous clock is a captivating centerpiece for any collection, and a wonderful expression of English horological artistry.
