Good English gilded brass single train great wheel skeleton clock with passing strike, signed on a silvered plaque fixed to the front of the base James Condliff, Liverpool, the 4.75" silver chapter ring enclosing a skeletonised movement upon curving supports, over a rectangular plinth with ball feet and upon a mahogany base with rounded ends housing a gong, under a glass dome, 14.75" high

*Condliff's second series skeleton clocks are epitomised by their exquisite scroll frames. Condliff made two different types; the first being a slightly more slender example with balance wheel escapement, the second being a pendulum clock, as in this example with deadbeat escapement.
