Rare Giant Carriage Clock by Dent

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Its About Time
Description

An exceptionally large or 'Giant' carriage clock by the well known maker Dent. In 1852 Dent won the commission to make 'The Great clock of Westminster' known fondly as 'Big Ben' . Frederick Rippon Dent finished the great clock in 1854 and his business carried on until 1966. This fine clock would have been made around the 1880's . Dent clocks do appear every now and then however giant carriage clocks by Dent are very rare. This particular one may have adorned the window display of the 33 Cockspur Street address (Just off Trafalgar Square). Sometimes the larger clocks were placed at the rear of the display to catch the eye of passers-by. The back plate is stamped and numbered 1897. The front plate is stamped H.L. It has a soft gong strike and repeat on demand. A stunning clock which ideally needs to be viewed in shop to appreciate it's size! A full 24 month U.K. guarantee (RTB)

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.

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

A carriage clock is a small, portable spring-driven clock developed in France in the early nineteenth century for travel, featuring a carrying handle and glass side panels to display the internal movement.

Traditional carriage clocks are constructed with heavy gilt brass or bronze cases, bevelled glass panels on all sides, white enamel dials, and precision steel movement components.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature heavy gilded brass cases, escapements visible through top glass panels, original winding keys, and maker marks or serial numbers stamped on the back plate or dial.

Position the clock centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, side table, or executive desk alongside curated leather-bound books and brass decorative objects to anchor a traditional atmosphere.

Dust the exterior gently with a microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip protective gilded finishes, while ensuring the movement receives professional servicing every five years.
