Henry Jacot Gorge Case Repeater with Race Horse Interest 1894

19th century
For Sale by Arundel Clocks
Description

Hi

I have for sale an 1890s French striking and repeating carriage clock made in France by Henri Jacot with the original silvered platform and brass winding key and box with provenance hand written in the case from the original owner's son, rare horse racing connection.

This is one large heavy clock built to top spec and a must for the best of collections the case has been fully restored the movement has had new springs(2) and serviced so not often seen for sale in this condition.

The Case

The case is in solid shiny brass and stands 18cm high x 10cm wide with a depth of 8cm it is in good original condition with mint thick 5mm beveled sides/front/back door and top viewing glass.

The case is very heavy and shiny and very hard to photograph they do not do the clock justice at all.

The case is engraved on the front Venture the horse's name and on one side E.H.J. From H.T and on the other the event date and place Beyrout 1894 a rear piece of history captured in time.

The Dial

The dial is in original mint condition in white porcelain, with stunning bold Roman numerals, the clock also retains its very fine original black ornate hands.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours via a small sweet gong to the rear also has the repeater button on top to repeat the last hour strike, the movement has been ultrasonic cleaned and serviced and had 2 new springs so keeping a great time over the eight days and has the bonus of the original silvered and jewelled serviced platform escapement this work was carried out about two months ago but just serviced again for trouble free running.

The movement is of course of top quality very fine wheelwork with stopwork added.

The movement is signed to the rear Henri Jacot , Paris with the parrot symbol also.

Overall a very beautiful quality carriage clock by a top quality French maker that looks stunning on display and contains all of its original features this is quite a rare find these days.

I will ship worldwide and pack very carefully please read my feedback from other clock buyers.

FAQs

A gorge case carriage clock is a 19th-century French portable timepiece featuring a brass case defined by deeply moulded, recessed channels and bevelled glass panels. First designed for travellers, these clocks incorporated spring-driven movements and striking or repeating mechanisms.

Antique carriage clocks were predominantly constructed from solid cast brass, fitted with bevelled plate glass panels to reveal the interior balance wheel and escapement. The dials typically feature white vitreous enamel over brass plates, housing steel clockwork components and jewelled movements.

Authentic French carriage clocks from this era feature maker stamps or trademarks stamped directly onto the movement backplate, alongside individual serial numbers. They are further identified by hand-painted enamel dials, heavy solid brass construction, and precise escapement mechanisms visible through a top glass aperture.

A brass carriage clock serves as a focal point when placed atop a wooden mantelpiece, side table, or executive desk alongside leather-bound books. Its metallic lustre complements contemporary minimalist schemes while introducing historical texture.

The brass case should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh liquid metal polishes that can degrade original lacquers. The mechanical movement requires specialist servicing by a horologist every five to seven years to ensure proper lubrication and accuracy.
