Description

Hi

I have for sale an 1880s carriage clock made in France by Richard & Co and presented in the rare case style which contains ornate filigree work and chasing running around the entire clock. It is in stunning condition one of the best we have seen, made in France a very rare find these days.

The case/movement/ have been fully Ultra-Sonic cleaned, polished, and rebuilt all hand polished hard to show on the photos.

The Case

The case is in solid heavy brass in the rare filigree style with a small top window and stands 16cm high x 8cm wide with a depth of 6.5cm it is in perfect condition with thick beveled glass sides/front/back door and top viewing glass. This clock has the filigree and chasing work running around the clock and is in perfect condition a real stunner with the thick solid matching handle.

The Dial

The dial is in original condition in white porcelain all contained in a stunning gilded mask to match the side panels simply beautiful to look at with the Arabic numerals, and the clock retains the original fine black ornate hands.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day time only; the movement has been fully ultrasonic cleaned new spring hand polished serviced and oiled so keeping a great time over the eight days via the jeweled escapement to the top.

A winding key is included.

Overall a very beautiful quality carriage clock that looks stunning on display and contains all of its original features this is quite a rare find these days made by a quality maker having just come to the market for the first time since the 1880s.

The photos do not do this beautiful clock any justice the winning bidder will be delighted, please read my feedback from other buyers about their clock purchases.

French carriage clocks originated in the 19th century as portable timepieces designed for travellers, officers, and the wealthy elite who required accurate timekeeping while on the move.

These timepieces typically feature a heavy brass or gilded bronze case fitted with bevelled glass panels and a sophisticated mechanical spring-driven movement with a lever escapement.

Authenticity is identified by examining the hand-engraved details of the brass case, the makers marks on the movement backplate, and the weight and clarity of the bevelled glass windows.

A carriage clock adds a touch of historical refinement when placed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or executive desk alongside books and ceramics.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight and moisture, dusting the brass gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and having the mechanical movement professionally serviced every few years.
