Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the 1860s.
The 8-day movement, with original platform, strikes hours and half-hours on a bell; the dial is original as are the blued steel Breguet "moon" hands. A pretty and quite early French carriage clock.
Many carriage clocks including early high quality examples are often not signed. Clocks by Alfred Drocourt (always of excellent quality) usually have distinct location holes below the lever platform and a unique style of engraving to the word "Hands" on the backplate.
