Beautiful antique French carriage clock with alarm. This stunning brass carriage clock is enhanced by original bevelled glass panels to each side showing the superior and renowned platform escapement movement in perfect working order, having recently undergone full cleaning and service ready to use and enjoy. Quite unusually it has an alarm feature - not seen on the "usual" style of carriage clock, and it also has a rare guilloche-style brass front panel, featuring the lovely enamel faces of the clock and the alarm. The clock face is stamped "Flavelle and Roberts Ltd. Sydney & London" who were specialist retailers in Australia in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The clock has no flaws or damage to speak of, save perhaps a few nibbles to the edge of the glass on the door at the back at the bottom.
Magnifique!
There's nothing that speaks opulence and understated elegance more than an antique carriage clock - so beautifully made, a status symbol and heirloom to treasure. This lovely clock would make a perfect and unparalleled gift for the special gentleman in your life as their simplicity provides a perfect piece to give as a gift!
Questions are very welcome - thank you for looking.

Registered and professionally packed post to most locations will cost $15.00 to send. (It will be $16 to Victoria, and $25.00 to W.A. and N.T.) International approximately $40.00. (too many locations to give a quote for everywhere - it's usually slightly more to Europe - please be aware I only charge actual postage plus the box).

Courier (if required): I am happy for you to organise at your expense. I recommend Aladdins - email for a quote - garry@aladdinscave.com.au - please don't leave it till the last minute as they do take a day or so to get back to you. Alternatively I use Greyhound freight, you can email me to see if they deliver to your area and the costs. It is extra to rural areas or Tasmania but they are quite reasonable and reliable.

Please note: All of my items are antique, vintage and/or used. I buy items for my ebay listings because they are beautiful, not always because they are perfect. If you require item to be in pristine new condition, then you should probably buy from an antique store where you can inspect them personally. It is often hard to determine the age of items purchased at estate and antique auctions so I can only give my best estimate and I am not infallible! Please ask if you require clarification. It is my intention to provide you with a wonderful online buying experience and I do my very best to accurately describe my items, however I am human and sometimes I unintentionally may omit a detail you may consider important. Communication is the key! Please feel free to ask questions if unsure, prior to bidding please. I may not always have the answer but I will always tell the truth. Thank you!

Questions and answers about this item

Q: Can the brass of the clock be polished any better especially the dark spots on the front sections? Are the dark "scars" and "pits" actual damage to the brass? Thank you for any answer.
