Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the 1880s.
The 8-day movement strikes hours and half-hours on a gong, and repeats hours at will. The enamel dial is perfect; the blued steel Breguet "moon" hands are original and it retains its original lever platform escapement. Stamped with the Jacot trademark to the backplate..6.0ins high (handle down) 7ins high (handle up).
Henri Jacot was a fine maker of carriage clocks. A "jacot" is a parrot or "pretty polly" in French, and so his trademark is a parrot on a stand between the initials "H" and "J".
