A Good Early 8-day Striking Carriage Clock

£750    $989    €889
Perrin ą Paris: A good and quite early mid-19th century French CARRIAGE CLOCK in perfect working order. The eight-day movement strikes the hours on a bell and is housed within its “gorge” case, with perfect enamel dial and original blued steel “trefoil” hands. Original lever platform escapement and signed on the lower edge of the backplate. Complete with its original embossed green leather travelling case. Guaranteed for at least two years.
 
** Jean Perrin, a member of a famous French family of clockmakers, worked in Paris from around 1807 until about 1840. This can be dated circa 1835-40. The first Carriage Clock was made by Breguet for Emperor Napoleon in 1812 but it was not until around 1840-50 that they became popular particularly amongst the English. Bell striking and “trefoil” hands are specific early features which can be found in this good Carriage Clock.
