This Victorian Gothic Revival carriage clock comes in a brass gold finish, accompanied by a red leather travel case with a curved side handle and structured lid. The timepiece rests on a stepped rectangular base below a brass carrying handle, displaying intricate pierced fretwork panels and a white enamel dial with a smaller subsidiary dial beneath. Measuring 14.5 cm high, 11 cm wide, and 10 cm deep, the clock suits display on a mantelpiece or within a gentleman's library. Placed in a study, office, or living room, this brass and glass timepiece brings period character to a tabletop or shelf surface.

FAQs

A Grand Sonnerie carriage clock is a 19th-century portable spring-driven timepiece fitted with a striking mechanism that chimes both the full hour and the quarter-hour at every quarter.

These timepieces were typically constructed with gilt-brass cases, bevelled glass panels, white enamel dials, and steel movement components, frequently accompanied by a leather-bound travel case.

Authentic examples feature heavy gilt-brass casing, detailed pierced or engraved fretwork panels, jewelled lever escapements visible through a glass top aperture, and maker marks or serial numbers stamped on the backplate.

Place the clock centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, atop a dark wood bookshelf, or on a study desk alongside leather accessories and brass objects.

Keep the clock away from damp environments and heat sources, wind the mechanism regularly using the correct key, and arrange for a qualified horologist to service the movement every three to five years.
