A fine antique Victorian French brass carriage clock with an 8 day movement retailed by Latshea & Sons of Edinburgh and made in France. The clock is housed in a traditional brass and bevelled glass case with a folding carrying handle and a top viewing window revealing the platform escapement.
The white enamel dial with Roman numerals is signed Latshea & Sons, Edinburgh – Made in France, reflecting the common Victorian practice of French carriage clocks being supplied to British jewellers and retailers who signed the dials with their own names.
Carriage clocks became highly fashionable during the Victorian period and were designed as portable travelling clocks. This example retains its elegant proportions and comes complete with its original leather travelling case.
A classic example of a late 19th century French carriage clock.
