FAQs

Developed in the early 19th century, carriage clocks were designed as portable timepieces for travel, featuring a sturdy spring-driven movement, a top carrying handle, and often a repeating mechanism that strikes the hours and quarters on demand.

Traditional carriage clocks are constructed with heavy brass cases, which are frequently gilded, along with bevelled glass side panels to display the internal movement and white enamel dials featuring hand-painted numerals.

Authentic 19th-century examples display heavy cast brass construction, bevelled glass panels, white porcelain enamel dials, blued steel hands, and maker stamps or serial numbers impressed onto the back plate of the movement.

Positioning a brass carriage clock on a fireplace mantel, bookshelf, or side desk adds structural interest and historical character when paired alongside modern artwork, ceramics, or framed prints.

Dust the exterior brass casing regularly using a dry, soft cloth while avoiding harsh chemical polishes that can wear away gilding or patination. The internal mechanical movement should be inspected and serviced by a professional horologist every three to five years.
