A remarkable piece of craftsmanship — this artwork depicts a 1914 Burrell 7hp Traction Engine, hand-made entirely from vintage clock and watch parts. Gears, dials, cogs and chains are repurposed to form the intricate shape of the engine, bringing together horology and engineering heritage in a single frame.
Produced under the Time Craft Design banner, these collages were distributed in Rochdale during the later 20th century and each example is unique, with its own assembly of parts. This framed piece includes dials marked Victoria Watch and Big Ben London, further enhancing its period charm.
Presented in a gilt-effect wooden frame with glass, this is a true conversation piece for collectors of traction engines, steampunk curiosities, or horological art.
