Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Developed in France during the early nineteenth century, carriage clocks were designed as portable timepieces for travellers. They feature robust spring-driven movements, rectangular cases, glass viewing panels, and top carrying handles.

Standard construction involves a gilded or lacquered brass case fitted with bevelled glass panels. Dials are typically crafted from white enamel over copper, with steel hands and brass gear trains inside the movement.

Authentic nineteenth-century French carriage clocks often feature French maker marks or serial numbers stamped on the back plate, a balance wheel platform escapement visible through the top glass panel, and fine hand-engraved detailing.

Carriage clocks function well as refined accents on a fireplace mantelpiece, bookshelf, or executive desk. They blend seamlessly with curated vignettes alongside leather-bound books, framed artwork, and contemporary ceramics.

Dust the exterior gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or microfibre duster. Avoid liquid chemical cleaners on gilded surfaces as they can strip the protective finish, and ensure the mechanical movement is professionally serviced every five to seven years.
