Oval Carriage Clock Attributed to Drocourt

19th century
For Sale by Its About Time
Description

A lovely oval repeater with the classic curved handle typical of oval Drocourt carriage clocks. The case has a nice gilt finish with a beautiful oval top glass showing the original escapement and sitting on attractive stepped base, as well as original curved glass panels to all sides. The front and back glass do have chips in the corners but are otherwise in excellent condition. The movement is of good quality with push repeat button, striking on a gong, stamped no. 15380 on the baseplate, along with "4297 Julin 11/1889 S", most likely a mark from the retailer, circa 1890.

FAQs

Carriage clocks were created in the early nineteenth century, primarily pioneered by French clockmakers to provide portable timekeeping for travellers. These spring-driven timepieces featured sturdy metal cases and balance wheel escapements, allowing them to function reliably while in motion.

Traditional carriage clocks are constructed with brass or gilded brass cases fitted with clear bevelled glass panels. The dials are typically formed from white enamel with painted Roman numerals, while the internal mechanical movements utilize steel and brass components.

Authentic examples feature heavy cast-brass cases, hand-finished bevelled glass panels, and mechanical escapement movements visible through the casing. Serial numbers, maker stamps, or trademarks are frequently stamped on the back plate of the movement.

A brass carriage clock functions well when positioned on a fireplace mantelpiece, styled alongside framed art, or arranged on a library bookshelf. Its compact scale allows it to serve as a tailored accent piece on desk surfaces or console tables.

Clean the exterior brass case using a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust and prevent tarnish. Avoid chemical liquid polishers that can damage protective lacquers or seep into the glass, and have the internal mechanical movement serviced regularly by a professional horologist.
