What is the history of carriage clocks?

Carriage clocks originated in France during the 19th century as portable timepieces designed for travellers, officers, and the wealthy to take on journeys.

How do you style an antique carriage clock in a modern interior?

A carriage clock adds a refined focal point when placed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or office desk, contrasting sharply against contemporary minimalist decor.

Traditional carriage clocks are constructed primarily from gilded or polished brass frames fitted with bevelled glass panels to showcase the intricate mechanical movement inside.

Authenticity is typically determined by examining the handcrafted mechanical movement, serial numbers, hallmark stamps, and the quality of the bevelled glass and heavy brass casting.

Maintain the clock by keeping it out of direct sunlight, avoiding harsh chemical polishes on the brass case, and having the mechanical movement professionally serviced every few years.
