Description

Hi

I have for sale an 1890s French carriage clock; the clock case and movement have been fully restored ultrasonic cleaned and the movement re-built oiled run and tested and the platform escapement fully cleaned and serviced so a few Hundred pounds saved against a cheaper clock.

This is a genuine French enamel carriage clock not a modern reproduction or China copy if you are looking for one of those there are plenty on EBay to choose from.

The Case

The case is in the art nouveau style in solid brass and stands 16cm high x 9cm wide with a depth of 8cm it is in perfect condition with mint bevelled glass front and top/side viewing glass.

This case has the enamel painting on all sides.

The Dial

The dial is in original condition painted porcelain with Roman numerals painted enamel simply beautiful and in great original condition this clock would have cost a small fortune when new a lot of work has gone into the dial it is a real work of art., the clock also retains the original black moon hands.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day repeater so strikes the hours and halves plus has the top repeater , the movement has been fully ultra sonic cleaned, new spring added then all hand polished serviced and oiled so keeping good time over the eight days via the restored escapement.

Overall a very beautiful quality carriage clock by a quality French maker that looks stunning on display and contains all its original features this is quite a rare find these days.

The clock comes with a winding key.

The restored solid brass housing includes a top repeater function and comes accompanied by a winding key.

FAQs

A carriage clock is a small, spring-driven portable clock originally designed in France during the early nineteenth century for travel. They traditionally feature rectangular brass cases, glass panels, and a top carrying handle.

These timepieces were predominantly constructed using heavy cast brass or bronze, steel movement components, glass viewing panels, and enamel faceplates decorated with painted motifs or Roman numerals.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-finished brass plates, fine movement engravings, repeat push-buttons on the top, original escapements, and period-correct maker marks stamped on the back plate.

Place the clock centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, within a curated bookshelf arrangement, or atop an office desk to add a touch of historical craftsmanship and structure to the space.

Dust the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth without abrasive cleaners, protect the enamel from direct high heat, and ensure the internal movement is professionally serviced and oiled every five to seven years.
