One of the most common types of clock available for the home are carriage clocks. In the past, carriage clocks were mainly for traveling but today we have much smaller and more portable clocks for that purpose. However, that doesn’t mean that carriage clocks have gone out of fashion. In this article I’ll be discussing some of the different types of carriage clock.
Brass Carriage Clocks
Most of the original clock carriage designs were made using brass and this style is still popular today. If you want to buy a solid brass carriage clock though you should be aware that it’ll cost a reasonable amount – at least $300 if not more. However, the great thing about brass is that it looks good in many different situations and interior designs so you shouldn’t have a problem fitting it in.
French Carriage Clocks
Most French carriage clocks are ornate and relatively complex in design. However, this means they make great focal points even if they aren’t as versatile as simpler designs. You can also find more straightforward French designs in some cases.
Miniature Carriage Clock
If you don’t want a carriage clock that dominates an area but still brings some style to the room then a miniature carriage clock might be an option. In general miniature clocks are also cheaper than full sized ones so are great if you’re on a strict budget.
Antique Carriage Clocks
There is a wide range of different types and styles when it comes to antique clocks so you need to be careful when buying. Some antique clocks can sell for thousands of pounds while others are worthless depending on many factors so it helps to know a bit about clocks and what makes them valuable before you buy. You should also be wary of accidentally buying a replica.
