English Rare Skeleton Clock by Evans of Handsworth
This ivy scroll form skeleton clock is a beautiful mechanical achievement by renowned English clockmaking firm Evans of Handsworth. Distinguished by its dramatic foliate and scrollwork patterns and a rarity by the inclusion of a subsidiary seconds dial. This exceptional eight-day timepiece keeps the time with a chain-driven fusée movement with detent escapement for improved accuracy. The time displays on a pierced and silvered chapter ring with shield cartouche Roman numerals and elegant serpentine hands.
This beautiful example of horological prowess by Evans of Handsworth is displayed under an oval glass dome and raised on an ebonized base. Evans clocks are some of the most highly desirable skeleton clocks on the market today.
