Miniature Carriage Clock by J Batson & Son

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Its About Time
Description

A very nice miniature carriage clock with beautiful 'mock' tortoise shell case. The Deco inspired handle, hinge, bun feet and bezel are all solid silver. The hallmarks on the handle and hinge tell us that it was made by J Batson & Son (Henry John Batson & Albert Edward Batson) Brewer Street, London, in 1927. The case is in good condition with a slight crack to the base, which has been repaired, and one of the rear feet is slightly smaller than the others, which is reflected in the price. The enamel dial is in excellent condition with delicate hands and Roman numerals. The movement has been fully overhauled and runs for a week once fully wound. A brilliant little clock indeed!

FAQs

Carriage clocks originated in France in the early nineteenth century as portable timepieces designed for travel. Miniature variations became popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods as decorative desk and boudoir accessories.

Traditional carriage clocks feature brass, sterling silver, or tortoiseshell casings enclosing a mechanical movement, often paired with an enamel or porcelain dial and blued steel hands.

Authentic pieces usually display maker marks or hallmarking on silver components, fine dial painting with Roman numerals, and original mechanical key-wind or balance wheel movements.

A miniature carriage clock serves as a refined accent piece on a mantelpiece, stacked atop books on a bookshelf, or positioned on a writing desk or bedside table.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight, central heating, and excess moisture to prevent drying or cracking of the natural material. Clean silver components gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals on tortoiseshell surfaces.
