19th century
For Sale by Arundel Clocks
Description

Hi

I have for sale a 1890 French porcelain panel carriage clock made in France, which was fully serviced around 2 months ago.

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

The Case

The case is in solid engraved brass and stands 15cm high x 8.5cm wide with a depth of 7cm. The serves panels are just stunning.

The Dial

The dial is in original condition. Where do I start, stunning hand-painted dial with Roman numerals and the original moon hands.

The dial and both panels are in mint condition, with no loss or cracks.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day time and strike so strikes the hours and the half hour via the gong to the rear, the movement has been serviced and oiled so keeping great time over the eight days and is signed by Margiane with his beehive motif on the bottom left.

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

I will pack well and ship worldwide.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Developed in France during the early nineteenth century, carriage clocks were portable spring-driven timepieces designed for travellers, typically featuring a rectangular brass case with glass side panels and a top carrying handle.

Carriage clocks were predominantly constructed from cast or engraved gilded brass, featuring bevelled glass plates, porcelain or hand-painted enamel dials, and steel movement components.

Authentic late nineteenth-century French carriage clocks often feature makers marks or serial numbers stamped on the back plate of the movement, along with finely engraved brass cases, original escapements, and period-appropriate enamel detailing.

Position a carriage clock on a fireplace mantelpiece, bookshelf, or console table alongside structured decorative objects to serve as a focal point within traditional or eclectic interiors.

Dust the exterior gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes on gilded or engraved surfaces, and ensure the internal mechanical movement is serviced by a professional horologist every few years.
