A Profusely Engraved to All Sides Gilt Bronze Carriage Clock Circa 1860

19th century
Description

A Fully All Over Engraved Gilt Bronze Carriage Clock Geneve Circa 1870 and retailed in London by Aubert & Klaftenberger

The gorge case of characteristic design, profusely engraved to all sides with foliate scrolls and flowers on a matted ground, the signed Roman enamel dial with moon hands and subsidiary alarm within a gilt mask with conforming decoration, the signed two train spring barrel movement with lever platform escapement, striking the hour and half hour on a bell. 14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep.

History: Aubert & Klaftenberger

The highly regarded retailer of clocks, watches silverware and objet d'art, Charles Ignaz Klaftenberger, was born in 1802 and entered into partnership with D.F. Aubert in 1835. The firm were appointed watchmakers to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and traded from retail premises at 157 Regent Street, London. They exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition and the partnership appears to have lasted until 1863 after which it would appear that Klaftenberger worked alone until 1881. Klaftenberger only sold the finest carriage clocks supplied by the best makers such as Drocourt and Jacot

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

Developed in France during the early nineteenth century for travellers, carriage clocks were designed with sturdy spring-driven movements and top handles to maintain functionality while in motion.

These timepieces are primarily constructed from cast brass or gilt bronze casing, fitted with bevelled glass panels, enamel dials, and steel movement components.

Authentic examples feature heavy brass construction, mercury or gilt electroplating, hand-engraved casing, original balance wheel escapements, and white enamel dials displaying Roman numerals.

Position the timepiece on a fireplace mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table alongside contemporary art and neutral textures to create a balanced focal point.

Keep the clock in a dry environment, clean the gilt surfaces gently with a soft dry microfiber cloth without chemical polishes, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five years.
