Rijtuigklok – Messing – 1970-1980

A fine and elegant French miniature carriage clock combined with a barometer, dating to the Belle Époque period (circa 1900). This refined piece is crafted in gilt brass and features beautifully hand-painted enamel panels depicting romantic 18th-century scenes. The clock and barometer are housed in two separate glazed cases, joined by a decorative central handle, giving the object both balance and architectural elegance. The mechanical movement is key-wound (key included). The barometer dial is marked in French, enhancing its authenticity and decorative appeal. Its small size (approx. 8 cm high) makes this a particularly charming and collectible miniature example, rarely encountered in this refined execution. Condition: Good overall condition with light wear to the gilding and minor age-related traces. The enamel panels are well preserved. Please refer to the photos for a complete impression. The clock is running at the time of listing (accuracy not tested over a very long period). The barometer shows movement, precision not guaranteed. Dimensions: Height: approx. 8 cm
