carriage clocks
Small ornate clocks
Carriage clocks are small, portable clocks with a rectangular case, typically brass with glass panels, and a handle on top.
They were designed for travelers in the 18th and 19th centuries, sturdy enough to withstand the jostling of a coach journey.
Now they serve primarily as decorative timepieces: The mantel held a French carriage clock.
