Antique Skeleton Clocks

Skeleton Clocks, originating in 18th-century France, exemplified the extraordinary talents of French clockmakers. They featured a meticulously crafted brass frame, artfully reduced to reveal the inner clockwork in motion. Resting on marble or wood bases, these timepieces were encased in glass domes, protecting them from dust while inviting close examination of their intricate mechanisms—a stark departure from the typical concealed workings of earlier clocks.

These original French skeleton clocks were the epitome of quality and luxury, reserved for the ultra-wealthy. In the UK, the tradition of crafting skeleton clocks began around 1820 and continued into the 19th century. Over time, these clocks evolved to include striking mechanisms, chiming the hours with gongs, bells, and melodies. Some even took the form of famous architectural structures like cathedrals, showcasing both technical prowess and artistic innovation.
