This carriage clock dates from the 1920 Victorian period and is constructed from brass and glass with a warm brass finish. The square case displays decorative mouldings along the top and bottom borders, fluted corner pillars, and a fluted scrolled carrying handle mounted on top. The oval silvered dial features black Roman numerals, accompanied by blued steel hands and an outer gilt chapter ring. The case exhibits visible signs of age and wear to the original gilding on the corner pillars and body surfaces. Measuring 13 cm high with the handle down, 13 cm wide, and 10 cm deep, this timepiece suits placement on a mantelpiece in a gentleman's library or study today.

FAQs

A carriage clock is a compact, spring-driven portable timepiece developed in the early nineteenth century, designed with a rectangular metal case, glass viewing panels, and a folding top handle for transport.

Traditional carriage clocks are constructed from solid cast brass or gilded bronze, featuring bevelled glass plates, enamel or metal dial plates, and steel movement components.

Authentic pieces feature heavy brass construction, hand-engraved serial or maker marks on the backplate, a visible top escapement through glass, and period-appropriate hand-cut gears and winding arbours.

Position an antique brass carriage clock on a fireplace mantelpiece, bookshelf, or executive desk alongside structured accessories and modern art to introduce historical contrast.

Maintain the case by gently dusting with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding abrasive polishes that strip protective lacquers, and have the mechanical movement lubricated by a qualified horologist every three to five years.
