Howell & James London - Repeater

19th century
For Sale by Its About Time
Description

A very rare carriage clock indeed ! The engraved original gilt bronze case case is surmounted by a decorative chased carrying handle and fine slotted finials. The beautifully engraved and gilded dial is framed by a gilt ‘mask’ with fine Roman numerals, foliate centre, and blued steel ‘fleur de lys’ hands. The twin train movement with highly unusual British escapement with engraved balance cock, mono-metallic balance wheel and ‘under-slung’ lever with the escape wheel. The rear of the clock shows an engraved door and engraving to the inside reading Howell & James, Regent Street, London. The coiled gong behind the door is highly unusal and the ‘Hand Setting’ wheel is positioned below the gong. Push repeat on demand. The original outer case and original engraved key to the inner lid. It’s very likely from the workshops of the fashionable, Somerset born clockmaker Thomas Cole. The contruction, engraving and also the style of outer case with Blue velvet interior makes it likely of Cole construction for Howell & James to retail. Circa 1840.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Originating in the early nineteenth century, a repeating carriage clock is a portable spring-driven timepiece fitted with an auxiliary strike mechanism activated by a push-piece to sound the hours or quarters.

These timepieces were predominantly constructed from heavy cast brass with fire-gilded or lacquered finishes, bevelled glass panels, and hand-engraved gilt or enamel dial plates.

Authentic examples feature heavy gilt-brass cases, fine hand-engraved detailing, platform lever escapements visible through top glass panels, and original fitted leather transport boxes.

Place the clock on a fireplace mantelpiece, executive office desk, or curated bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes to add architectural structure and classical warmth.

Dust the exterior using a dry microfibre cloth without harsh chemical brass polishes that strip original gilding, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five years.
