Henri Jacot: A particularly impressive French brass 'repeating' Carriage Clock with a delightfully painted dial and side panels, in an Anglaise Riche case.

The dial and the two painted panels portray Goldfinches roosting at their nest, with trees, branches and various insects close by. The 8-day movement retains its original platform lever escapement and strikes hours and half-hours on a gong, repeating at will by use of the top mounted press-button. Arabic numerals to the dial with blued steel fleur-de-Lys hands. Bevelled glass to the front, top and back panels.

The name 'George Barnes, Paris' is inscribed on the dial (believed to be the painter).

Serial number 1077 stamped on the backplate. Complete with key. Recently cleaned and serviced - Perfect working order. Guaranteed for 12 months.
