Description :

This elegant antique Waterbury carriage clock features a classic brass case with beveled glass panels on all sides, showcasing the original mechanical movement within. The clock retains its swing handle top, hinged rear door, and white enamel dial with bold black Arabic numerals and blued steel hands.

The movement is clearly stamped “Waterbury Clock Co., U.S.A.”, and the rear door bears multiple patent dates ranging from 1889 to 1891, firmly placing this piece in the late 19th century. The visible escapement, regulator markings, and period-correct hardware reflect Waterbury’s reputation for quality American clockmaking during this era.

A beautiful decorative and collectible timepiece, ideal for antique clock collectors, mantle or desk display, or historical décor.
