Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
c. 1860 or earlier
This French brass carriage clock features a classic one-piece case design typical of the 19th century. Standing at 14 cm high, 10 cm wide, and 8.5 cm deep, the clock is constructed from brass and incorporates a traditional carry handle at the top.
The white dial is marked with Roman numerals and carries the signature of the maker, M.S.X. Woog, Paris. Internally, the clock is equipped with a twin fusee movement that is also signed. It is designed as a bell-striking timepiece. The clock is accompanied by an associated key. The piece is identified as an early example, dated to approximately 1860 or earlier. While the platform has been replaced, the clock retains its historical character.
It is noted as being in a non-working state requiring professional service. The overall aesthetic is one of clean, functional elegance, characteristic of mid-19th-century French horology, with a sturdy brass frame that highlights the craftsmanship of the period.
