French Enamel Carriage Clock

19th century
For Sale by Arundel Clocks
Description

Hi

I have for sale an 1890 French carriage clock made in France, the clocks case and movement have both been fully restored ultrasonic cleaned and the movement re-built oiled run, and tested and a new platform escapement was added so a few Hundred pounds were saved against a cheaper clock.

This is a genuine French cloisonné enamel carriage clock, not a modern reproduction or China copy.

The Case

The case is in solid brass and stands 15cm high x 8cm wide with a depth of 6cm it is in perfect condition with beveled glass front and top/side viewing glass.

This case has the Cloisonné enamel top and bottom banding and is in the serpentine case style.

The Dial

The dial is in original condition in white porcelain with black Arabic numerals and contains the original black ornate hands and the retail name just visible.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day time only, the movement has been fully ultrasonic cleaned and hand polished serviced, and oiled so the clock is keeping good time over the eight days.

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

I will post worldwide please contact me for shipping quotes.

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 by clockmakers such as Abraham-Louis Breguet, carriage clocks were portable timepieces designed for travel, featuring robust spring-driven movements and top carrying handles.

Carriage clocks were predominantly crafted from cast and gilded brass, bevelled glass panels, and white enamel dials, with decorative examples incorporating champleve or cloisonne enamel work.

Authentic nineteenth-century French carriage clocks typically feature platform lever or cylinder escapements visible through a top glass window, stamped French movement markings or serial numbers on the back plate, and heavy fire-gilded brass cases.

A carriage clock functions as a functional accent piece when placed on a fireplace mantelpiece, a minimalist bookshelf, or an executive desk alongside brass accessories.

Wipe the brass case gently with a soft microfibre cloth without using abrasive chemical polishes, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a qualified horologist every five to seven years.
