This traditional carriage clock dates to 1950 and takes the form of a rectangular gilt brass case with bevelled glass panels. The piece incorporates a shaped top carrying handle, a circular top viewing window that exposes the balance wheel, and an enamel dial marked with black Roman numerals. Along the stepped base, an engraved inscription reads 'PRESENTED BY HER MAJESTY QUEEN MARY 13TH OCTOBER 1949'. The clock measures 16 cm high, 8 cm wide, and 7.2 cm deep. Positioned on a mantelpiece, the carriage clock suits a gentleman's library or study setting. The polished brass surfaces reflect light while the white dial provides a clear contrast for telling time. The traditional design language accommodates both period and classic interior schemes, serving as a functional timepiece with royal provenance for a desktop, shelf, or tabletop display.

FAQs

A carriage clock is a small, spring-driven portable timepiece designed in the early nineteenth century for travel, characterised by a rectangular brass case and a folding top handle.

Traditional carriage clocks are primarily constructed from cast brass or gilt bronze, fitted with bevelled glass panels and a white enamel dial.

Authentic pieces feature heavy brass construction, glass viewing apertures, key-wound mechanical movements, and stamped maker marks or serial numbers on the back movement plate.

Display the timepiece on a fireplace mantelpiece, bookshelf, or executive desk to serve as a functional decorative accent.

Keep the casing clean with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid humid environments, and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a qualified horologist every three to five years.
