Rare Antique French Repeating Carriage Clock

19th century
Description

This is a beautiful example of a late Victorian French carriage clock manufactured around 1870 for the English market.

The 8-day movement is spring driven, striking the hour and the half-hour on a spiral gong.

The maker designed this clock to have a repeating function, so by pressing the button on top of the case, the clock will repeat the hour strike, allowing the user to know the time in the dark.

The case is beautifully decorated around the sides with a delicate filigree pattern of bronze retaining the original patina.

The dial is made out of enamel, hand decorated with blue numerals, and surrounded by a gilded brass mask.

The clock comes with a winding key.

FAQs

A French repeating carriage clock is a portable spring-driven timepiece developed in France during the nineteenth century, featuring a push-button mechanism that repeats the striking of the nearest hour or quarter hour on demand.

These clocks were typically constructed with solid brass cases, bevelled glass panels, and mechanical brass movements powered by mainsprings, often featuring enamelled dials with blued steel hands.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples often feature heavy brass construction, hand-engraved serial numbers or maker marks on the back plate, mercury-gilded or polished finishes, and white vitreous enamel dials.

An antique brass carriage clock can be styled on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or executive desk alongside leather-bound books or framed prints to add historic textural contrast.

Keep the clock in a dry environment free from extreme humidity, wipe the brass casing gently with a soft microfibre cloth without harsh chemicals, and have the internal mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
