A Gorge Carriage Clock by Henri Jacot of Paris.

19th century
Description

The eight-day duration movement has a silvered platform lever escapement of a style typical of those used by Jacot and strikes the hour and half-hour on a gong.

The movement backplate is stamped with the serial number 11706 along with the Jacot trademark being the initials H.J. either side of a parrot on a perch, being an African grey known as a Jacot. The inside of the plates are stamped with the Jacot poincon oval giving the years of various exposition awards, the last on this oval being 1889 at the Paris Exposition. The gong block is stamped with the initials F.D. within an oval, being a gong maker also used at this time by Henri Jacot and others.

The white enamel dial has black Roman hour numerals, Arabic outer five-minute numerals, dots to the outer aspect and blued steel moon hands.

The gilded gorge case with typical Jacot five-bail handle.

?Complete with the original numbered travelling box and winding key.

FAQs

A gorge case carriage clock is a nineteenth-century French portable timepiece featuring a brass case with distinct moulded, channelled rims and bevelled glass panels.

Antique French carriage clocks are constructed primarily from solid cast or milled brass, frequently gilded, fitted with bevelled glass plates and white enamel dials.

Authentic examples typically display maker marks or serial numbers stamped on the back plate, alongside high-grade platform escapements and precise brass gorge casing.

Position the brass carriage clock on a fireplace mantelpiece, bookshelf, or desk alongside contemporary ceramics or modern framed art to contrast classic horology with modern aesthetics.

Keep the timepiece in a dry environment, dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid liquid metal polishes that remove protective lacquer, and have the mechanical movement serviced regularly by a professional horologist.
