French Gorge Petite Sonnerie Carriage Clock

19th century
For Sale by Its About Time
Description

A small gilt cased carraige clock in the Gorge style, surrounded by thick bevelled white glass. An attractive masked dial, showing Roman numerals and alarm aperature. The main dial is in great condition and shows the inner line within the Roman numerals, typical of Henri Jacot. This clock benefits from having quarter striking or what is known as a petite sonnerie, whereby the clock strikes the quarters automatically, and if the repeat button is pressed, will strike the full grande sonnerie (the hours and quarters). This clock has just undergone a full restoration and has all original parts, and original escapement. Sold with a 24 month guarantee.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A French carriage clock is a compact, spring-driven portable timepiece developed in France during the early nineteenth century, designed primarily for travel and mantel display.

Carriage clocks traditionally feature gilded or polished brass cases, bevelled glass aperture panels, white enamel dials, and steel hands and movement components.

Authentic pieces feature heavy cast brass construction, bevelled glass, stamped serial numbers or maker marks on the back movement plate, and finely painted enamel dials with steel hands.

Place the clock centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, an executive office desk, or a structured bookshelf to create a refined focal point that complements dark wood or polished stone surfaces.

Dust the exterior gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive liquid brass polishes that degrade protective gilding, and arrange professional horological servicing every three to five years.
