Striking Carriage Clock in a Gorge Case

19th century
For Sale by Chalfont Clocks
Description

A small 19th Century striking carriage clock in a Gorge case retaining its original gilding, the high quality movement sharing some significant traits with clocks manufactured by Henri Jacot.

The two train movement striking on a blued steel gong, is regulated by an English lever platform escapement, the crisp white roman dial is unblemished with Roman hours and arambic minutes, the case having thick bevelled glass throughout. The case is numbered 7396 throughout but is not signed. Interestingly the gong block is stamped FD in a oval, this mark has been found on many clocks made by Henri Jacot and his competitor Drocourt. The quality of the movement and the appearance of the engraving of the back plate lead us to believe that this clock was made either by one of these makers or by one of the highly skilled suppliers.

This 19th Century French striking carriage clock is a 1870 timepiece made from gilt brass, glass, and enamel in a gold colour scheme. The piece takes the form of a gorge case with a hinged carrying handle at the top, a stepped moulded base, and glazed panels on the sides framing a white enamel dial with Roman numerals. The metal components display a uniform gold-toned finish with traditional stepped gorge mouldings framing the case. The clock measures 12 cm high, 7.5 cm wide, and 7 cm deep. Placed on a mantelpiece in a gentleman's library, study or sitting room, the clock functions as both a decorative accessory and a practical timepiece. The compact proportions allow the object to sit comfortably upon a traditional mantel shelf, desk or side table amongst books and decorative items. The clear white dial and contrasting dark numerals provide clear legibility from across a room while maintaining a classic 19th-century aesthetic suitable for traditional interiors.

FAQs

A gorge case carriage clock is a specific design variant of the portable 19th-century travel clock, characterised by its intricate, multi-moulded gilt brass frame and bevelled glass panels.

Traditional carriage clocks are constructed with gilt brass or bronze frames, bevelled glass plates to reveal the movement, and enamel or brass dials.

Authentic pieces feature heavy gilt brass cases, escapement platforms visible through the top glass panel, hand-cut steel hands, and vitreous enamel dials with Roman numerals.

Carriage clocks function as refined accents when placed on a mantelpiece, stacked atop books on a study desk, or arranged within a traditional bookshelf display.

The exterior case should be dusted regularly with a soft dry cloth avoiding chemical cleaners, while the internal mechanical movement requires professional horological servicing every few years.
