Arundel Clocks has dated this French Repeating Carriage Clock to the 1870s.
I have for sale a French striking and repeating carriage clock made in France around 1870;s simply stunning brass plain masked dial with raised numerals striking on a gong has been fully restored with new springs and all screws and the gong is re-blued in stunning condition.
The Case
The case is in solid shiny gilt and stands 19cm high x 10cm wide with a depth of 9cm it is in perfect condition with mint thick 3mm beveled sides/front/ and top viewing glass.
The case is very shiny and hard to photograph they do not do the clock justice at all.
The Dial
The dial is in original condition in white porcelain numerals, the dial is set in a stunning gilded plain mask which sets this clock apart from others, the clock has very fine original black ornate hands,
with the bold but fine Arabic numerals.
The Movement
The movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours via a small sweet gong to the rear and also has the repeater button on top to repeat the last hour strike, the movement has been serviced and oiled so keeping a great time over the eight days and has the bonus of the original silvered platform escapement.
The movement has been fully serviced and is running very strong.
The movement contains Geneva stop work to save over winding only found on the best of the best.
Overall a very beautiful quality carriage clock by a top quality French maker that looks stunning on display and contains all of its original features this is quite a rare find these days.
