A Large Porcelain Dialled Carriage Clock

19th century
Description

A large and highly unusual carriage clock; the eight-day duration movement has a platform lever escapement and strikes the hours and half-hours on a gong, with a repeat button set to the top to sound the last hour at will.

The backplate is stamped to the lower corner with the serial number 1941.

The painted porcelain dial has a matt-gilt ground and is decorated with a scene depicting an impressive chateau standing beside a lake on which is moored a small boat and has a white chapter ring with black Roman numerals behind which branches and leaves from a tree are shown, allowing the dial centre to be a part of the scene.

The whole design of the substantial gilded Anglaise case, including the handle, resembles a series of blocks.

FAQs

Developed in the early nineteenth century, carriage clocks were designed for travellers who required a portable timepiece. They feature spring-driven movements, balance wheel escapements to function during movement, and top handles for transport.

Carriage clocks are typically constructed from heavy cast brass or gilt bronze cases with clear glass panels. Dial plates are commonly made of porcelain, enamel, or silvered brass, often decorated with hand-painted artwork.

Authentic period pieces feature substantial weight, hand-finished gilded brass cases, and bevelled glass plates. They operate via mechanical key-wound movements rather than modern quartz components.

A carriage clock can be positioned on a fireplace mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side console table. It pairs well alongside leather-bound books, framed artwork, and contemporary brass accents.

Dust the exterior regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or abrasive polishes on gilded surfaces. Mechanical movements should be professionally oiled and serviced every few years by an experienced horologist.
