French Repeating Carriage Clock Fully Restored 1870s

19th century
For Sale by Arundel Clocks
Description

Hi

I have for sale a French striking carriage clock made in France around 1870;s by AD which has just been fully restored both the case , the movement and original silvered platform . The movement has had new springs, the original platform fully restored.

This is one but heavy clock built to top spec and a must for the best of collections a very rare case not often seen for sale, with the entire clock with the same matching numbers which again is on the base of the escapement.

The Case

The case is in solid shiny gilt brass and stands 16cm to the top of the handle high x 9cm wide with a depth of 8cm it is in perfect condition with mint thick 3mm bevelled sides/front/ and top viewing glass.

The case is very shiny and hard to photograph they do not do the clock justice at all.

The Dial

The dial is in original condition white porcelain, the clock has very fine original black spade hands with the London Retailers name at the bottom.

The Movement

The movement is an eight day time and strike which strikes the hours via a small sweet gong to the rear , the movement has been fully ultra sonic cleaned new springs added I also blued all the screws and gong in the same blue colour it is stunning to look at in my opinion.

The clock also contains Genre stop work to stop over winding a top quality feature only found on top end clocks.

Overall a very beautiful quality carriage clock by a top quality French maker that looks stunning on display and contains all of its original features this is quite a rare find these days.

I will ship worldwide and pack very carefully please read my feedback from other clock buyers.

FAQs

Carriage clocks, or officier clocks, were developed in France in the early nineteenth century, famously popularised by Abraham-Louis Breguet for Emperor Napoleon. Designed to withstand the rigours of travel, these spring-driven portable timepieces featured sturdy brass cases, balance wheel escapements, and protective glass panels.

Authentic nineteenth-century carriage clocks typically feature cast and gilded brass cases, bevelled glass panels on four sides and the top, and fired white enamel dials. Internal movements consist of precision-cut brass plates and steel gears with a balance wheel regulator.

Authentic French carriage clocks generally display maker stamps or trademarks on the back plate of the movement, along with serial numbers. Key indicators include heavy gilded brass construction, bevelled glass panels rather than plastic, and hand-painted Roman numerals on an enamel dial face.

A brass carriage clock functions as a sophisticated decorative accent on a wooden mantelpiece, styled alongside leather-bound books, framed artwork, or botanical specimens. Its compact footprint also makes it suitable for placement on an office desk or library shelf.

Keep the clock in a temperature-stable environment away from moisture and direct heat source. Dust the outer casing gently with a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid metal polishes that can damage original lacquer or gilding, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five years.
