Many Types of Carriage Clocks

January 6th, 2010 by the writer

A carriage clock is a clock that travelers during the 19th century would take with them on their long journeys. Similar to conventional travel clocks, carriage clocks are made with a rectangular case made of either brass or silver, a spring-driven mechanism that is housed inside the casing, a glass-covered face made out of porcelain for the hands to be seen easily, and of course a large and strong handle that allows easy mobility. An antique carriage clock also makes a beautiful piece of furniture for the home, especially if the room is decorated with wooden flooring, an elegant doorway, and other pieces of classical furniture that compliment with one another. If you’re interested in buying a clock carriage for yourself, you’ll find this article very useful.

There are clock shops and online clock stores that sell all kinds of carriage clocks, from a silver carriage clock to a rare French carriage clock made by a prominent French clock maker. The carriage clock is obviously pricier as compared to today’s clocks, but if you wish to add some sophistication to your living room or your office, this is definitely a good choice. Take some time to browse through websites for carriage clocks that will fit not only your room but also your taste and preferences.
