| History Of The Item: |
Carriage clocks had their origin literally as clocks that the
carriage trade took with them in there carriages when they took
their trips which could take many days given the pace at which
coaches travelled on the primitive roads of Europe France is the country that is attributed with developing this style of clock The styling of your clock, notwithstanding that it was made in Germany, is pure French with provincial detailing Your carriage clock is a full size and was made this size with the advent of the copper coil mainsprings of which your clock has two One spring powers the time feature and one powers the strike/chime/repeating feature |
| Appraiser Tips: | This carriage clock requires proper cleaning and lubricating so that the points of friction are made to resist wear |
| Research Sources: | My many decades of exposure to the vintage clock industry |
| Appraiser Comments: |
The Badische Clock Company was formed in 1860 and lasted until
1918 at which time it closed for several years due to German
economic disasters The factory re-opened in 1927 and it was during this time that your clock was made Because the carriage was no longer a way of travelling and automobiles shortened trips to hours instead of day, the carriage clock was relegated to a fashion clock to furnish better homes Repeater clocks with chimes were quite expensive and your ornate piece would have been an expensive luxury afforded only to the upper middle classes This model with it's visible movement is a choice piece and is highly collectable and sought after As such, your clock is worth the amount shown below |
