Hi
I have for sale a 1880s French striking carriage clock made in France by Henri Jacot.
Fully Restored Case and Movement is simply stunning.
The Case
The case is in solid shiny brass and stands 18cm high x 10cm wide with a depth of 8cm it is in good original condition with mint thick 5mm bevelled sides/front/back door and top viewing glass.
The case is very heavy and shiny and very hard to photograph. They do not do the clock justice at all.
The Dial
The dial is in original mint condition in white porcelain, with stunning bold Roman numerals; the clock also retains its very fine original black ornate hands.
The Movement
The movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours via a small sweet gong to the rear. The movement has been cleaned and serviced, and has 2 new springs so keeping great time over the eight days. This work was carried out about two months ago, but just serviced again for trouble-free running.
The movement is of course, o
...f top quality, very fine wheel work with stop work added.
The movement is signed to the rear Henri Jacot , Paris, with the parrot symbol also.
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. Please read my feedback from other clock buyers.
