Carriage Clock (Shelf)

An 18th century precurser to our modern-day "travel alarm" clock, the spring driven carriage clock was originally designed to be carried easily for use when traveling. The small, upright rectangular case typically has a brass frame with four glass sides and top and a carrying handle. Many have alarms and/or striking work. Usually 4-5 inches high. France was especially known for the production of these clocks in the mid to late 19th century.
