A good 19th century brass twin train 'York Minster' skeleton clock under a glass dome, with deadbeat escapement and both gong- and bell-strike
Unsigned
The case based on the architectural gem in the north of England with arches, pinnacles and mullion windows, set to the top centre with a horizontal bell on which is struck a single blow at the half hour, the plates united by six graduated pillars of the same profile, but different thicknesses and screwed to the front and back, on a stepped base mounted on a rosewood base and protected by a glass dome. The pierced silvered chapter ring with gothic Roman numerals on linked shields, the outer band marked with 60 dots for the minutes, fancy blued steel hands. The twin chain fusee movement with wheels of six crossings to a deadbeat escapement striking the half hours on the bell, and the full hour on a substantial steel gong mounted to the rear on a quatrefoil stand, some of the strike work set on foliate-cast brass cocks. Ticking and striking. Sold together with an old dome of the correct size (possibly the original). 53cms (21ins) to the top of the dome.
