Description

A fine miniature carriage timepiece made and retailed by Asprey of London. The case is solid silver and in near perfect condition, with a gilt interior and an angular ‘deco’ style handle.

The dial is in good condition with neat, wide Roman numerals and is signed Asprey, London. Adjusted and wound from the rear. Running for a week on a full wind. In 1889, the business was renamed C & G.E Asprey, despite Charles (II) not retiring until 1891. The last name change of the nineteenth century was in 1900, where the business became known as Asprey & Co. In 1906, Asprey bought out their business competitors, and neighbours, Houghton & Gunn.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

FAQs

Miniature timepieces and carriage clocks originated as portable devices for travellers in the 19th century, evolving into refined desk and mantel accessories produced by luxury jewellers like Asprey.

These items are typically constructed from solid sterling silver cases housing precision mechanical clockwork movements, featuring enamel dials and hand-cut glass crystals.

Authenticity is verified by checking for official assay office hallmarks, makers marks such as those for Asprey, and examining the quality of the hand-engraving and mechanical movement.

Place the piece on a desk, mantelpiece, or bookshelf where its reflective metal surface can catch the light and add a focal point of refined craftsmanship to the room.

Maintain silver cases using a soft microfibre cloth without abrasive polishes to preserve hallmarks, and have the mechanical movement serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
