Rare French Skeleton Clock
The skeleton clock industry being all but dominated by the English, French-made skeleton clocks are a rarity with unique artistry all their own. This skeleton clock is both a horological marvel and a stunning work of art. The clock resides in an engraved fretwork frame, standing on gravity-defying scroll and leaf form legs. A porcelain chapter ring, hand-painted with blue Roman numerals, displays the time. A skeletonized dial allows the viewer to have a hypnotizing view of the clock escapement in motion. The clock dial bears the name Hy Marc, Paris. This remarkable clock sits atop an elegant marquetry base under a blown glass dome.
An eight-day movement strikes a bell every half hour. This clock is fully restored with a one-year warranty.
