French Grand Sonnerie Carriage Clock 1890

19th century
For Sale by Arundel Clocks
Description

Hi

I have for sale an a1890s French striking and repeating Grand sonnerie carriage clock made in France. The clock case has been fully restored, and the movement has also been fully restored with new springs added and is running strong, keeping time and striking correctly with the repeat button on the top all running via the original, again restored silvered platform.

The Case

The case is in solid shiny brass and stands 20cm high x 10cm wide with a depth of 10cm it is in original condition with thick 5mm bevelled front/back door and top viewing glass, again all in mint condition.

The case is very shiny and hard to photograph; they do not do the clock justice at all.

At the base is the lever for silent or quarters, or grand Sonnerie, all working correctly.

The Dial

The dial is in mint original condition in white porcelain with Arabic numerals; the clock also retains its original, very fine black moon hands. all housed in a stunning chased dial mask.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours, quarters and halves and three quarters via two blue steel gongs to the rear also has the repeater button on top to repeat the last hour strike, the movement has been fully restored and running and striking 100% correctly.

The clock is stamped Jacot inside the plates but not on the rear plate which is a little different from the normal.

The clock also contains a Genre stop work to stop over-winding a top-quality feature only found on top-end clocks.

At the bottom of the case is a lever for full striking or just hour striking or Silent so you have all three options.

The photos do not do justice to this lovely old clock.

As with all my clocks, this one is sold with a ‘back-to-base’ 3-month guarantee. I also offer future clock servicing, which I carry out personally at a heavily discounted rate.

FAQs

A Grand Sonnerie carriage clock is a portable spring-driven timepiece originating in France during the nineteenth century that automatically strikes both the hours and quarters at every quarter-hour.

These timepieces were typically constructed with heavy gilt brass or bronze cases, bevelled glass side panels, and white enamel dials fitted with steel hands.

Authentic examples feature heavy gilt brass cases, jewelled lever escapements, stamped serial numbers or maker signatures on the movement backplate, and bevelled glass panels.

Position the clock on a timber mantelpiece, side table, or executive desk to serve as a focal point alongside structured decorative objects and books.

Dust the case regularly with a soft dry cloth, avoid abrasive metal polishes that compromise original gilding, and have the mechanical movement professionally serviced every five to seven years.
