Gilded Horse-Drawn Carriage Clock

An elaborate gold-tone novelty clock fashioned as an ornate horse-drawn carriage, complete with four detailed horses, decorative wheels and a carriage-style clock case. Display pieces like this transformed an ordinary timepiece into something intended to command attention on a mantel, console or tabletop. Equal parts clock and conversation piece, it represents the wonderfully decorative objects that so often surface in estate collections.
