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 19th century, carriage clocks were designed as portable timepieces for travellers. They typically feature a rectangular metal case with glass panels, a top carrying handle, and a spring-driven movement equipped with a platform escapement to withstand movement during journeys.

Traditional French carriage clocks were primarily constructed using cast or stamped brass, often gilded or fire-gilded, along with bevelled glass plates. The dials were commonly crafted from white enamel fired over copper, paired with blued steel clock hands and steel movement components.

Authentic period carriage clocks usually feature maker stamps or trademarks on the back plate of the movement or dial face, heavy brass construction, and fine bevelled glass panels. Movements from this era generally utilise a platform escapement situated at the top of the mechanism, visible through a upper glass viewing window.

A brass carriage clock functions effectively as an accent piece on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or executive desk. Positioning the clock alongside contemporary artwork or structured modern ceramics creates a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and current design aesthetics.

To preserve a carriage clock, wind the mechanism regularly using the correct size key without forcing the spring. Metal surfaces should be dusted with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid polishes or chemical cleaners that can strip protective lacquers or gilding.
