Antique French Travel Clock (Carriage Clock) – Brass & Facet-cut Glass – France – circa 1900

- Dial: White enamel dial with clean black Roman numerals and blued steel hands. In excellent optical condition with no visible hairlines.
- Movement: High-quality 8-day French movement with an original platform escapement. Equipped with an "Anglaise" handle for transport.
- Dating: Late 19th century / early 20th century (circa 1890-1910).
