French Repeater Carriage Clock Rare Top and Side Panels Restored Movement Signed Brunelot 1890

19th century
For Sale by Arundel Clocks
Description

Hi

I have for sale a 1890s French striking and repeating carriage clock made in France by Brunelot. The clock case has been fully restored the movement has also been fully restored with new springs added and is running strong, keeping time and striking correctly with the repeat button on the top all running via the platform.

The Case

The case is in solid shiny gilded brass and stands 17cm high x 9cm wide with a depth of 8cm it is in original condition with a thick 5mm bevelled front/back door and top viewing glass again all in mint condition and covering the most amazing panels gilded with raised silvered flowers

The case is very shiny and hard to photograph they do not do the clock justice at all.

The Dial

The dial is in original condition, brass with Roman numerals, but has an amazing mask to match the top and sides; the clock also retains its original very fine black moon hands.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours, and halves via the blue steel gong to the rear also has the repeater button on top to repeat the last hour strike, the movement has been fully restored and running and striking 100% correctly.

The makers stamp is in the bottom left hand side.

The clock also contains Genre stop work to stop over winding a top-quality feature only found on top-end clocks.

The photos do not do justice to this lovely old clock.

As with all my clocks, this one is sold with a ‘back-to-base’ 3-month guarantee. I also offer future clock servicing, which I carry out personally at a heavily discounted rate.

This late 19th-century French carriage clock dates from 1890 and is made from solid shiny gilded brass with thick 5 mm bevelled glass panels. The piece features a fluted top carrying handle, a small top button, an ornate silvered floral dial plate with Roman numerals, and fine black moon hands, accompanied by a separate brass winding key. The casework displays a bright warm brass finish and rests on a stepped moulded plinth base. Measuring 17 cm high, 9 cm wide, and 8 cm deep, the clock is compact enough for display on a traditional mantelpiece, desk, or bookcase in a study or library. Designed for domestic timekeeping, the mechanical movement operates on an eight-day striking and repeating system with a visible platform escapement and blue steel hands. The signed Brunelot movement has been fully restored with new springs to maintain accurate time and hour strikes, utilizing a top repeat button and genre stop work to prevent overwinding. The original brass case and decorated mask retain their authentic character alongside the maker's stamp positioned on the lower left side, making it a functional horological item for everyday use in a home setting.

FAQs

Carriage clocks were developed in France during the early nineteenth century as portable timekeeping devices designed for travel. Characterised by sturdy rectangular brass cases and top carrying handles, these spring-driven mechanical clocks often featured repeating mechanisms to strike the hours on demand.

Traditional carriage clocks were crafted with cast brass or gilt-metal cases, housing polished glass panels on the sides and top. The dial plates were often decorated with enamel or relief-engraved brass, featuring steel clock hands and spring-driven brass movement components.

Authentic late nineteenth-century pieces frequently display maker marks, trademarks, or serial numbers stamped directly onto the rear movement plate. Additional identifying features include precision hand-cut gears, heavy brass casing, bevelled glass panels, and functional push-piece repeating buttons.

A brass carriage clock serves as a refined accent piece when positioned on a fireplace mantelpiece, executive desk, or curated bookshelf. Pairing the warm metallic tones with natural wood, leather accents, or modern dark-painted backdrops creates a sophisticated visual contrast.

Preservation requires careful placement away from direct heat and regular servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years. The brass casing should be dusted using a soft, dry lint-free cloth, avoiding abrasive liquid cleaners that could damage historic surface lacquers or gilding.
