Hi
I have for sale a French striking and repeating carriage clock made in France around 1880;s and is simply stunning, one of the best I have ever seen and striking on a gong has been fully restored with new springs, all screws and gong re-blued in stunning condition, not signe,d but I think a Jacot?
This is one large heavy clock built to top spec and a must for the best of collections a very rare case not often seen for sale, with the solid handle also.
The Case
The case is in solid shiny gilt and stands 19cm high x 10cm wide with a depth of 9cm it is in perfect condition with mint thick 3mm bevelled sides/front/ and top viewing glass.
The case is very shiny and hard to photograph; they do not do the clock justice at all.
The Dial
The dial is in original condition with a Roman border against a gilt mask with a chased centre set off with fine Roman numerals, and the clock has very fine original black ornate hands.
The Movement
The movement is an eight-day t
...ime and strike which strikes the hours via a small sweet gong to the rear and also has the repeater button on top to repeat the last hour strike, the movement has been serviced and oiled so keeping a great time over the eight days and has the original silvered platform escapement.
The movement has been fully restored, then serviced and is running very strong.
The movement contains Geneva stop work to save over winding only found on the best of the best.
Overall a very beautiful quality carriage clock by a top quality French maker that looks stunning on display and contains all of its original features. This is quite a rare find these days.
I will ship worldwide and pack very carefully.
