Arundel Clocks has dated this piece to the 1880s.
I have for sale an 1880s French striking carriage clock made in France by Henri Jacot with the original silvered platform and brass winding key.
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 very heavy and shiny and very hard to photograph they do not do the clock justice at all.
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, the movement has been 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.
Arundel Clocks has dated this piece to the 1880s.
