1933 Charles Frodsham Carriage Timepiece
An exceptional Corinthian pillared carriage timepiece with masked floral fretwork frontage, by world famous English clockmaking firm ‘Charles Frodsham & Co.’, established in 1834. This clock probably being made in their pre-WWII works at 62 Beauchamp Place, London.
Born 1810 in London, such was Frodsham’s famed horological reputation that in 1854, his firm had become the official maintainers of British royal family clocks at all their palaces…Incredibly, a Royal Warrant that continued until c1979! He was also the last independent clock maker to have his own workshop at Buckingham Palace, and his royal connections guaranteed him exclusive commissions from UK and global aristocratic customers and the British Admiralty, the firms work commanding the very highest prices.
• Case has 5 x bevelled glass tablets, sits on four brass bun feet, and has 4 x three-quarter Corinthian style fluted brass columns.
• Above the upper corniche are mounted finials and a fluted swing carrying handle.
• Face frontage offers finely handcrafted pierced gilt foliate fretwork embellishment.
• White enamelled dial with black Roman numerals.
• Original pair of blued pointer spade hands.
• Glazed swing rear door.
• High-quality 8-day rear winding Frodsham signed movement.
• Mechanism driven by a Swiss engineered, top mounted, 11-jewelled platform escapement, that helps the clock keep excellent time.
• Comes with an authentic steel winding key.
Frodsham passed away in 1871, and his ‘Times’ obituary stated that “during a long and honourable career, he distinguished himself by his devotion to the science of horology, which he greatly advanced, and his clever works upon the subject are regarded as authoritative by members of the trade…” On his death, Frodsham’s son Harrison Mill Frodsham took over the business, who continued to produce exceedingly high-quality clocks and chronometers (as did later generations of the family dynasty after that), and remarkably, the firm of Charles Frodsham & Co. Ltd is still in existence today at 32 Bury Street, St. James Square, London. Please contact us for further information.
