Are carriage clocks always French?

Not always, but French work dominates. Of the 1,317 listings, 506 titles say "french", with Paris in 58 and France in 49 more. English is named in only 19 titles, and the English fusee clocks are a handful among the whole archive. They sit at the extreme top of the range.

What does repeating mean on a carriage clock?

It means a button on the top re-strikes the last hour when you press it, useful at night before electric light. Repeating, repeat and repeater between them appear in well over two hundred titles, so the feature turns up throughout the category.

How old is a typical example?

The dated field runs from 1800 to 1960, but it concentrates hard: the 1890s, 1900s and 1880s account for almost two-thirds of the thousand listings carrying a clean year. Earlier decades thin out quickly, with the 1850s the earliest to show meaningful numbers. Mid-century clocks dated 1950 and 1960 are present but few, several of them ex-shop stock.

Why are some listed as timepiece rather than clock?

Timepiece is the trade word for a carriage clock with no striking train. It tells the time and does nothing else. Seventy-five titles use it, and those clocks sit at the low and middle of the range rather than the top.

Do silver carriage clocks turn up?

Yes. Silver appears in 93 titles, a distinct strand of boudoir timepieces often English-cased and hallmarked in London or Birmingham, with sampled dates between 1896 and 1913. Finishes named include silver gilt, repousse, hammered and engine turned. Some are miniature or sub-miniature, and one shagreen-cased silver miniature turns up.

Which unusual types show up in this category?

Single appearances include a pendule d'officier, a duplex-escapement clock, a five-minute repeater, a one-year-duration four-glass timepiece, and a compendium with compass and thermometer. Export and retail routes surface in the titles too: Bombay, Poona, Madras, Calcutta, Rangoon, Philadelphia, New York and Jersey, plus clocks made for the Turkish and Chinese markets. Around 140 carriage clocks are listed a year on Sellingantiques, and 88 different dealers have handled them.
