~ French Brass Carriage Alarm Clock ~
A lovely French brass carriage alarm clock. The brass casing has developed a deep patina leaving it with a lovely matt brown finish which contrasts beautifully with the crisp white face.
The clock features two oval glass windows on the sides of the casing to reveal the working mechanism within.
To the top of the clock there is a simple carry handle. “Silent/Alarm” slider and a “Call/Bell” button. The call button can be used at any time and when pushed it rings the bell. By using the small pin at the back of the clock the alarm time can be adjusted, the small dial shows what time the alarm will go off. The alarm will only go off if slider is on “Alarm”.
