C.1905, Mappin Brothers miniature sterling silver carriage clock
Anonymous (not verified)
23 October 2024
220 Regent Street, London, in very good original condition. The case is hand tooled repousse silver, with cupid, other winged cherubs, a dog and a dove, and with British hallmarks on the base (with Mappin signature). The only thing that keeps this from being excellent is a hairline in the porcelain dial at 3 o'clock. The entire back hinges open for attending to the well made tiny French movement with a tiny lever platform on top, serial number 52490. The silvered plate movement is signed JTC, but we could not find a reference. Nice folding winder keeps you from losing a key (note part of one screw head broke during a recent repair). A very well made and attractive clock, in running order. Height (handle up) 4".
