A Timeless Piece of French Horological History
Add a touch of 19th-century sophistication to your home with this exquisite antique French carriage clock. Crafted during the golden age of French clockmaking (circa 1890), this timepiece features the highly sought-after "Gorge" style case—a premium, multi-molded brass design reserved for higher-end models of the era.

Key Features:
  • Authentic French Craftsmanship: Stamped with the historic "BREVETÉ S.G.D.G." patent mark and a unique production serial number (392 77 938), confirming its origin in the prestigious workshops of late-Victorian France.
  • Premium Materials: The heavy brass case retains a beautiful aged patina, complemented by five original beveled glass panels that provide a clear view of the intricate mechanical movement.
  • Classic Aesthetic: Features a pristine white enamel dial with crisp Roman numerals and elegant blued-steel hands.
  • Portable Elegance: Includes the traditional reeded swing handle, originally designed for 19th-century travelers.

Specifications:
  • Dimensions: Approximately 10cm (Height, handle down) / 14cm (Height, handle up).
  • Movement: Original 8-day spring-driven mechanical movement with a visible platform escapement.
  • Case Style: Premium "Gorge" molded brass.
Condition Report:
This clock is in excellent vintage condition with minor age-appropriate wear to the brass. The enamel dial is clean, and the beveled glass panels are clear and intact. (Note: As with all antique mechanical timepieces, professional servicing is recommended for precise timekeeping).
