Catalog Description:

C.1880, French, Brass Cased Miniature Carriage clock. The Anglaise Riche style case with Corinthian columns retaining some of the original gilt, with 5 very good beveled glasses and a multi-colored porcelain dial. The 7/8 inches diameter porcelain dial features bright blue roman hour numerals and red Arabic 5 minute indications upon a white field and has a circular mark from the dragging tip of the minute hand which will likely clean up (only visible with a magnifier). There is loss of gilt to the dial mask surround. The time movement retains the original cylinder escapement in apparent good order but would benefit from cleaning. The backplate is numbered 2032. An attractive miniature carriage clock in good condition. Height 4 inches (to top of handle)
