Description
This 8-day French carriage clock dates to around 1890 and comes complete with its original case and key. The case is 13cm x 10.25cm x 8.5cm, and the clock is in full working condition, with a small chip to the top corner of the rear-facing glass door that does not detract from its overall presence. Carriage clocks were developed in France in the early 19th century as portable timepieces for travel, designed to keep accurate time while being robust enough to withstand movement; they became popular with travellers and as prestige desk or mantel clocks, prized for their quality movements, brass cases, and refined engineering.
