Hi
I have for sale a 1890s French carriage clock; the clock case and movement have been fully restored, ultrasonically 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 cloisonné 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 20cm high x 10cm wide with a depth of 8.5cm it is in perfect condition with mint enamel panels and dial mask.
This case has the enamel sides and dial plate.
The Dial
The dial is in original condition, enamel inlay with Roman numerals and housed in a shiny solid thick brass plate covered in 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 plate
... it is a real work of art., the clock also retains the original gilt spade hands.
The Movement
The movement is an eight-day Repeater so strikes the hours and halves, the movement has been fully ultrasonic cleaned, new springs 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.
