A fine French engraved gilt brass centre seconds carriage clock with spring detent `chronometer` escapement and push-button repeat Bollviller, Paris, circa 1845 The gilt eight-day two train bell striking movement with underslung spring detent escapement and vertical rim monometallic balance with blued steel timing screws and helical balance spring mounted via a bridge with column turned uprights onto a large linear engine-turned platform, the backplate stamped with oval BOLLVILLER, A PARIS trademark to lower margin, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with centre seconds, blued steel Breguet style moon hands and repeat signature BOLLVILLER A PARIS in a curve below, the gilt one-piece caddy moulded foliate scroll engraved bevel-glazed case with hinged carrying handle and repeat button fitted towards the front edge of the top glass, the rear door with shuttered winding holes within a rococo-scroll engraved gilt field, on cavetto moulded skirt base with recessed rounded angles, the inner base plate stamped L. LANGE 84 to underside, 14cm (5.5ins) high excluding handle. Bolviller is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as working from various addresses in Paris from circa 1830-70; Rue Saint-Avoye 1830, Rue Charlot 1840, Rue Vendome 1850-60 and Rue Beranger 1870. L. Lange is also recorded by Allix as a specialist carriage clock case maker whose stamp appears mainly on one-piece cases housing movements by Auguste, Jules and Japy amongst others. The current lot is unusual and rare in that it is fitted with a spring detent `chronometer` escapement and has centre seconds. The design of the bridge for the balance, as well as the engine turned detail to the platform, can be directly compared to an underslung pointed-tooth platform lever escapement fitted to a very similar but non centre seconds carriage clock signed by Jules, Paris, illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development pages 74-5 (figs II/50 and II/51). Indeed these similarities add weight to the suggestion made by Allix that these clocks originated from the same manufacturing process/workshop.
A rare French petit sonnerie striking carriage clock with two-plane `chaffcutter` escapement and push-button repeat Paul Garnier, Paris, circa 1840 The eight-day two train movement with two-plane `chaffcutter` escapement and three-arm monometallic balance set between the plates and striking the hours and quarters on a pair of graduated bells mounted to the backplate signed PAUL GARNIER, H`LR DU ROI PARIS towards upper left hand corner and numbered 1183 to centre, the rectangular engine-turned silvered brass Roman numeral dial with radial design to centre within chapter ring and `watered-silk` infill incorporating vacant signature plaque to lower margin and with Breguet style blued steel moon hands, the gilt brass one-piece caddy moulded case with hinged slender baton handle above repeat button mounted within the top glass panel and the rear sliding upwards for winding, on cavetto moulded skirt base with inset rounded angles, (strike train with faults), 14.5cm (5.75ins) high excluding handle; with original leather covered outer travelling case. Paul Garnier is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS as born 1801 and receiving Silver Medals in the Paris Exhibitions of 1827, 34, and 39; and gold medals in 1844 and 49. He worked from various addresses at Rue Taitbout, Paris and died in 1869 leaving the business to his son of the same name who was still exhibiting carriage clocks in the Paris Exhibition of 1889. Paul Garnier is generally credited for being the first maker to essentially standardise the `petit pendule portative` which was in effect to become the prototype for the archetypal French carriage clock. The current lot with its `chaffcutter` escapement, engine turned `watered-silk` dial and squat one-piece case with wooden block insert to underside can be firmly identified as a `Series I` carriage clock by Garnier as identified by Allix (see Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS pages 56-7). This clock is rare in that it was made with petit-sonnerie striking and has particularly early use of repeat button set into the top glass of the case.
