Small Antique Gilt Brass Carriage Clock - 4¾" x 3¼

Compact yet dignified, this late 19th-century carriage clock, likely English, was designed for precision and portability. It served as a trusted companion for officers, merchants, or discerning travelers at a time when personal timekeeping was both a practical necessity and a mark of refinement. Encased in gilt brass and fitted with beveled glass panels on all four sides, it offers a clear view of the inner mechanism and reflects the craftsmanship associated with quality horology of the period.

The simple white enamel dial, adorned with Roman numerals, remains crisp and legible despite slight fading.

Behind its hinged rear door, the original movement and winding mechanism are still intact, and have been restored to regain full function.

A discreetly engraved monogram lends a touch of personalization and historical intrigue, hinting at its original owner’s or maker's identity.
