Description

These two timepieces were made by Henry Matthews silversmiths in Birmingham, and are both in great condition with solid silver cases, bun feet, and silver C scroll handles. Although not an exact pair, with a slight difference in size and with different sets of hands, they are almost identical and were only made a year apart, with the carriage on the left hallmarked for 1906 and on the right 1905. Two finely crafted items which could be a gift for two siblings perhaps, or be displayed together to tell time in two different timezones. A very attractive pair which will certainly hold their value.

FAQs

Carriage clocks originated in France during the 19th century as portable timepieces designed for travellers, eventually becoming popular decorative items across Europe.

Traditional carriage clocks are constructed with brass, gilt bronze, or silver cases enclosing intricate mechanical movements, often featuring enamel dials and glass panels.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-engraved movements, maker hallmarks on the silver or brass case, and period-correct escapement mechanisms rather than modern quartz components.

These compact timepieces can be displayed on mantelpieces, desks, or bedside tables to add a layer of metallic lustre and historical detail to contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires regular mechanical servicing by a horologist and careful cleaning of the silver case using non-abrasive cloths to avoid damaging hallmarks and delicate surfaces.
