Clock · Carriage clock

This carriage clock, identified by the auction description as a timepiece, is attributed to a circa 1890 production period and was retailed by the firm Penlington & Batty, which operated in Liverpool and Manchester. The construction features a gilded metal case equipped with a hinged carrying handle at the top. The case is fitted with curved, bevelled glass side panels and a top glass, providing visibility into the interior movement. The dial is composed of off-white enamel, displaying fancy Arabic numerals, minute markers, and the retailer's name printed below the twelve o'clock position. The movement is a mechanical timepiece intended for weekly winding via a dedicated key. Access to the gear train and setting mechanisms is provided through a hinged rear glass door. The auction description notes minor physical imperfections, including small chips on the side and top glass panels.
