A Petit Sonnerie Carriage Clock in Gorge Case with Original Gilding

19th century
For Sale by Chalfont Clocks
Description

A handsome Petit Sonnerie Carriage clock in a Gorge case retaining much of its original gilding, the eight day movement with original silvered lever escapement, strikes on two nested bells, striking the hours on the larger bell and the quarters on both bells, the repeater action will repeat the time to the nearest fifteen minutes.

This clock has a two train movement of excellent quality and can be set to striking or silent with the lever in the base. The white enamel roman dial with Breguet style moon hands is in unblemished condition, as it the entire clock with only minor wear to the gilding commensurate with age.

This clock would have been made in Paris in the 1860’s by one of the main carriage clock producers for another retailer. Although we cannot find a makers mark, the platform is stamped F.R. and there are striking similarities between this clock on others by Henri Jacot.

All of our clocks come with a two year guarantee.

FAQs

A carriage clock is a small, spring-driven portable clock developed in France during the early nineteenth century, designed to maintain accuracy while travelling.

Traditional carriage clocks feature gilded or lacquered brass cases, bevelled glass panels on all sides, and a glazed enamel dial over a brass mechanical movement.

Authentic pieces generally display heavy fire-gilded brass cases, hand-painted enamel dials, blued steel hands, and French horological maker marks stamped onto the rear brass movement plate.

Position the clock on a timber mantelpiece, executive desk, or styled bookshelf alongside leather-bound books to create a refined focal point.

Dust the exterior case gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or abrasive polishes that strip original fire gilding.
