A fine late 19th century French carriage clock, with Sevres style jewelled porcelain panels with both alarm and repeat mechanism. Height excluding carrying handle 14 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The movement winds on both trains and is currently ticking away and striking when advanced. The repeat mechanism does operate and the pointers adjust as they should. There is a very faint hairline crack to the front porcelain panel which is difficult to see without magnification. It runs from the top right-hand corner across the spandrel above the numeral II and down to below the right-hand cherub foot and finishes where it meets the inner circumference of the chapter ring. There is also another hairline crack which runs from the top of the left-hand figures fishing rod down to the ring around the alarm dial. There are no jewels missing to the front panel although one or two may have been replaced. The right-hand panel is not cracked. One of the jewels is missing and we are not sure whether others have been replaced or not. Two of the white spandrel jewels are also missing. The left-hand panel has a faint hairline crack running from the top edge down to the second lower jewel and further down to the fifth jewel on the right-hand side where it seems to stop. Again some of the jewels are missing and all of the white jewels to the corner spandrels. The rear panel is in good order with the exception of some missing and some replaced jewels. The case is in generally good order with much of the original finish still intact.

A FINE FRENCH GILT BRASS GORGE CASED GRANDE SONNERIE STRIKING CARRIAGE CLOCK HENRI JACOT, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURY The eight-day two train movement configured with ting-tang striking for the quarters on a graduated pair of coiled gongs and the hour sounding at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, the going train regulated by silvered platform lever escapement with sprung split bimetallic, the backplate stamped with perched parrot H.J. trademark for Henri Jacot to centre and numbered 8800 to the lower left corner, the frontplate also with numbers 800 and 5075 stamped to the inside lower margin and the gong block with oval F.D. trademark, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track and blued steel spade hands, the gilt brass gorge case with hinged carrying handle over rectangular top glass, trip-repeat button to front rail and channel-moulded uprights, the ogee-outline base with three-position selection lever annotated Full Striking/Silent/Quarters to underside.14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. Henri Jacot is recorded Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKs, Their history and development as working from 31 Rue de Montmorency, Paris as well as possibly having a factory in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. The business was awarded Bronze Medals at the Paris 'Exposition' in 1855 and in London 1862; Silver in Paris 1867, 78 and 89 and Gold, again in Paris, 1890. Although Charles Allix notes that Henry Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name further research by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death Henri's business was actually continued by his brother Julien who was essentially only 'keeping the bench warm' until his son, and Henri's nephew Albert, was able to take over and move the concern forward in 1874. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920.Condition Report: Movement is in fairly clean working condition, the grande-sonnerie striking is fully operational and in-sync with hands; the selection lever to the base also operated correctly. The backplate has a direction arrow for setting the hands inked in red, this no doubt can be easily removed with solvent applied to a cotton bud. The dial appears free from visible cracks or chips; on very close examination there may be a very light scratch to the enamel near the centre. The case is generally in fine condition with good strong gilding exhibiting next to no wear. The left-hand glass has a shallow surface chip to the inside top front corner otherwise glasses appear free from damage.Clock is complete with a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A FINE FRENCH GILT FRETWORK AND PORTRAIT MINIATURE INSET GRANDE-SONNERIE ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKUNSIGNED, PARIS, CIRCA 1900 The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and sounding the hour every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 342 to the lower left hand corner, the dial with circular white enamel Roman numeral disc decorated with concentric repeating polychrome floral swags to centre and with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with gilt trefoil hands set within a fine bright-cut engraved and pierced foliate scrollwork rectangular mask incorporating conforming subsidiary enamel Arabic alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass bevel-glazed anglaise riche variant case with spiral reeded baton to the hinged carrying handle over thick top glass, complex moulded inverted breakfront cornice and fluted frieze, the angles with twist-reeded three-quarter columns with Corinthian capitals and the sides with fine foliate pierced and engraved frets incorporating oval line delineated panel enclosing fine portrait miniatures of Marie Antoinette opposing Madame Elizabeth each executed on ivory set behind a convex glass, the rear with bevel-glazed door, on generous cavetto over ogee moulded inverted breakfront skirt base incorporating shallow block feet, the underside with G'de Sonnerie/P'te Sonnerie/Silence selection switch; with a Morocco covered outer travelling case including winding key.The clock 17.5cm (7ins) high with handle down, 11cm (4.25ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands; previously the property of Lord and Lady Swaythling. Although this rather impressive high-quality current clock appears to be unsigned it does share some strong similarities with the work of LeRoy and Fils, and can be compared to less ornamental example sold in these rooms on Wednesday 24th June 2020 (lot 98).Please note Dreweatts have an ivory exemption licence for this lot 4J9QZTH1Condition Report: Movement is running and the striking mechanism is operational. The grande-sonnerie works except for at quarter to the hour (last quarter) when the strike fails to activate (strikes correctly when repeat button is pressed during the last quarter). This suggests that a release pin is to the under-dial work is either missing or out of alignment hence would most likely be a simple repair. Clock otherwise is fully operational including the alarm and strike selection lever to underside, however a gentle/clean service is advised. The dial is in fine condition with no visible faults other than some very slight discolouration to the minute hand. The case is essentially in near immaculate condition with good strong gilding throughout and no visible damage to the glasses (including those for the portrait miniatures). The right-hand side miniature appears to have a very slight surface blemish (possibly a restored crack?) to the background behind the figure's head (towards right hand margin). Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to a few tiny barely noticeable bumps.The outer travelling case appears original to the clock but is fairly heavily worn with broken strap handle and missing button inserts for the repeat button and clasp. The interior is in sound condition. Clock has a winding/setting key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH ENGRAVED GILT BRASS CENTRE-SECONDS REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH DECORATED PLATFORMJAPY FRERES, PARIS, MID 19th CENTURYThe rectangular eight-day two train centre-seconds movement with unusual fine scroll engraved gilt platform lever escapement incorporating shaped cocks and jewelled pivots for the pallet and escape wheel arbors and regulated by a sprung three-arm steel balance applied with three blued steel crescent-shaped 'flukes' to the rim, the backpate stamped with central oval trademark inscribed JAPY FRERES & CIE, EXPOSITION, 1855, GRANDE MED. D'HONNEUR and numbered 901 to the bottom left-hand corner and to the inside lower edge of the frontplate, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with sweep seconds and blued steel moon hands above Arabic alarm setting dial to the lower margin, the bevel-glazed corniche case with hinged carrying handle over oval top glass set into a surround finely engraved with foliate scrollwork, with cavetto cornice mouldings, panel-decorated caddy moulded uprights and hinged glazed door to rear, on cavetto moulded skirt base further engraved with fine floral scrollwork.15.5cm (6.125ins) high with handle down, 9cm (3.5ins) wide, 8cm (3.125ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. The firm of Japy Freres et Cie was founded by Frederick Japy in 1774 who set-up a modest workshop in Montbeliard as a watch and machine tool maker. Japy expanded his business rapidly and by 1804, the year he was awarded the Legion d Honneur by Napoleon (in recognition for his Brevets in horological machinery), he employed 300 people at his manufactory in Beaucourt. From 1806, he took five of his sons into partnership and the firm expanded adding buildings at Badevel and La Feschotte amongst others to become one of the largest makers of clocks in Europe. The business continued into the Twentieth century but during the inter-war period went into decline and is thought to have finally wound-up in around 1840. A detailed history of Japy Freres et Cie is provided in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development chapter VI pages 133-48. The unusual finely engraved platform lever escapement fitted to the current lot can be directly compared to that on a Swiss petit-sonnerie striking giant calendar carriage clocks sold in these rooms on Thursday 22nd March 2022 (lot 168). From this it would be reasonable to suggest that the escapement on the present clock was probably sourced from a specialist supplier working over the border from Mentbeliard in Switzerland.Condition Report: Movement is complete and in sound original condition. The escapement appears undamaged however is somewhat dirty/gummed-up hence will only beat for a second or so when encouraged. The strike train is fully operational including the repeat button however the rack is 'sticking' hence does not always count the correct hours; a gentle clean/service will no doubt bring the clock into fully working condition, (the alarm is in working order). The dial appears free from visible damage. The case is generally in fine condition with good string gilding exhibiting minimal wear or discolouration. The front glass has a small scratch and a tiny chip to the lower right corner; the right-hand glass has similar chips to both lower corners and the rear glass has slight chipping to the lower right corner.There is no winding key present.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A SWISS LACQUERED BRASS CALENDAR CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PUSH-BUTTON REPEAT MOONPHASE AND ALARML'EPEE, DELEMONT, FOR RETAIL BY MATTHEW NORMAN, LONDON, LATE 20th CENTURYThe eight-day two train gilt eleven-jewel movement striking the hours on a coiled gong and with alarm sounding on the same gong, the going train with gilt platform lever escapement regulated b sprung monometallic balance, the backplate inscribed 11 Eleven Jewels, Unadjusted, Swiss Made over Matthew Norman, London, 1781 to centre, the rectangular white Roman numeral dial with rolling moonphase annotated for the lunar month to upper margin and retail signature MATTHEW NORMAN to the textured centre, with blued steel moon hands over central subsidiary alarm dial flanked by day-of-the-week and date-of-the-month calendar dials, the corniche type case with hinged carrying handle over rectangular top glass, cavetto cornice and caddy-moulded uprights, on conforming skirt base with rounded angles.14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 10cm (4ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep. The Swiss clockmaking firm L'Epee was established in 1839 by Auguste L'Epee as a manufacturer of musical boxes and horological products. During the 1850's L'Epee specialised in the production of platform escapements and obtained many patents for refinements such as 'anti-knocking' and 'auto-starting' as well as for a design of constant force escapement. In 1889 the firm had expanded to the extent that 200,000 escapements were sold that year they were also awarded numerous gold medals at various international exhibitions for their work including Paris 1889 and 1900, Vienna 1892 and Hanoi 1902. During the 20th century L'Epee diversified to supply precision timing instruments for industry. L'Epee re-entered the 'luxury' market in the mid 1970's launching a range of carriage and other small timepieces as well as supplying Concorde with cabin clocks. In 1994 they revealed the 'Giant Regulator' which, measuring 2.2 metres high and weighing 1.2 tons, entered the Guinness Book of Records as the largest timepiece in the world. In 2008 L'Epee was became part of Swiza SA and continues to produce high quality classic carriage clocks and contemporary timepieces (many of which contain complications such as Perpetual calendars and tourbillons) to this day.Condition Report: Movement is complete and all-original. The going train will just about run, and the strike train operates but very lazily, this is due to the mechanism now being a little dry/sticky hence a gentle service/lubrication is required. The alarm requires a new spring otherwise is in good order. There is no visible damage to the dial and all functions appears to be connected hence will most likely be operational once the movement has been serviced. The case has overall tarnishing/discolouration but appears undamaged with no visible chips to the glasses.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH ENGRAVED GILT BRASS GORGE CASED CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PUSH-BUTTON REPEAT AND ALARMPONS, PARIS FOR RETAIL BY WILSON & GANDER, LONDON, MID 19th centuryThe two-train eight-day frosted gilt movement striking the hours on a bell and with alarm sounding on the same bell, the going train with gilt platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the backplate numbered 648 over stamped Pons, MEDAILLE D'OR roundel to centre and the frontplate with further number 76 stamped to the inside lower edge, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial inscribed FABRIQUE DE PARIS, WILSON & GANDAR, 392 STRAND to centre, with blued steel moon hands over subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt gorge case with leafy trail decorated hinged lobed carrying handle over full-width top glass and repeating lappet-leaf and foliate trail engraved complex upper mouldings, with rosette divided matted panel-decorated channelled corner uprights and generous ogee-shaped base further engraved with a band of repeating leaves over rococo scrollwork; with original tooled Morocco covered carrying case.The clock 15cm (6ins) high with handle down, 10cm (4ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep. Pierre-Honoré-César Pons was born in Paris in 1773 and after studying with the Jesuits in the rue Mouffetard he went to train under the eminent clockmaker Antide Janvier. Unfortunately the unrest of the French Revolutionary period disrupted his training but he was recommended by Janvier to the prestigious Lepaute family who took him on in 1798. Pons completed his training under the Lepautes and developed an interest in precision horology; in 1803 he opened his own workshop rue de la Huchette, near the Place Saint-Michel. In order to satisfy the financial demands of running a workshop, whilst taking time to work on the development of precision horology, Pons acted as supplier of movements to many the eminent horologists of the period such as Berthoud, Breguet and Lepine. During this time he developed several escapements and created improved wheel-cutting and pinion polishing machines. With the encouragement of Ferdinand Berthoud in 1804 Pons presented his 'Observations sur l'échappement libre' to the Academy of Sciences where it was praised by the jury and the Academy congratulated him.Around this time the French clockmaking town of Saint-Nicholas d'Aliermont was in crisis due to the collapse of the industry. Napoleon's minister responsible for Fine Arts, Industry and Commerce, the Count de Champagny, ordered the Académie des Sciences to find someone suitable to turn the industry around. Honoré Pons was approached as he had the necessary skills and had developed the tools and practices most appropriate for the task. After a period of reluctance he accepted on the basis that the state will pay him a generous amount for his machines as long as they were installed and used in the Saint Nicholas workshops. By 1808 Pons was producing fine quality 'blanc-roulants' for an affordable price which received high praise from makers such as Breguet and recognition by the Academie in their report to Napoleon Bonaparte.Over the following decades Honoré Pons expanded the Saint Nicholas operations and became a principal supplied of movements to the Parisian clockmaking trade from his premises in Paris's rue de la Barillerie on the île de la Cité. In 1827 he was awarded a gold medal and in 1839 was awarded the Croix de la Légion d'Honneur by King Louis Philippe. In 1846, at the end of an illustrious career, pons sold his firm to Borromée Délépine and retired, living in an elegant Parisian mansion at 20, rue Cassette.Condition Report: Movement is in clean fully working condition (including the alarm) and appears fundamentally all-original. The dial appears free from visible damage. The case has overall light to moderate gilt wear/rubbing however the engraving id fine and crisp throughout. The glasses appear free form visible chips. The outer travelling case is a little large for the clock so is probably not original; the leather is punctured over the repeat button and the carrying strap is worn. Otherwise faults to the travelling case are generally limited to wear, bumps and scuffs commensurate with age and use.Clock is complete with a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

BRITTEN'S OLD CLOCKS & WATCHES AND THEIR MAKERS as established by William Johnson (of Grimalde and Johnson fame) at 4 Hercules Passage in 1849 before moving to 54 Threadneedle Street by 1864. He is then thought to have relocated to 334 Kennington Park Road by 1867 where he remained until 1871.  Condition Report: Both trains will wind, the strike/repeat train are operational however the strike is currently out of sync with the hands. The escapement appears undamaged but is 'sticking' hence a gentle clean/service is probably all that is required to bring beck to fully working condition.

A FRENCH GILT MID-SIZED GORGE CASED REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK PROBABLY BY JACOT, PARIS, FOR RETAIL BY AUBERT AND KLAFTENBERGER, GENEVA, CIRCA 1870 The eight-day two-train bell striking movement regulated by frosted gilt platform lever escapement incorporating sprung bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the hour bell, the backplate further stamped 629 to lower left-hand corner, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed AUBERT & KLAFTENBERGER, GENEVE to centre and with with blued steel moon hands over subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass gorge case with hinged carrying handle over rectangular top glass and channel-moulded uprights, the rear with glazed door, on ogee-outline base.11.5cm (4.5ins) high with handle down, 7.5cm (3ins) wide, 6.5cm (2.5ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. Details such as the straight uprights of the handle and full-width rectangular top glass can be compared to an engraved example by Henri Jacot illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other TRAVELLING CLOCKS on page 148 (Figure 9-18). The escapement platform can also be closely compared to one fitted to a grande sonnerie clock by Jacot (number 825) which is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKs, Their history and development on page 114 (Plate V/14). Henri Jacot is recorded by Allix as working from 31 Rue de Montmorency, Paris as well as possibly having a factory in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. The business was awarded Bronze Medals at the Paris 'Exposition' in 1855 and in London 1862; Silver in Paris 1867, 78 and 89 and Gold, again in Paris, 1890. Although Charles Allix notes that Henry Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name further research by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death Henri's business was actually continued by his brother Julien who was essentially only 'keeping the bench warm' until his son, and Henri's nephew Albert, was able to take over and move the concern forward in 1874. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920.The highly regarded retailer of clocks, watches silverware and objet d'art, Charles Ignaz Klaftenberger, was born in 1802 and entered into partnership with D.F. Aubert in 1835. The firm were appointed watchmakers to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and traded from retail premises at 157 Regent Street, London. They exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition and the partnership appears to have lasted until 1863 after which it would appear that Klaftenberger worked alone until 1881. Klaftenberger only sold the finest carriage clocks supplied by the best makers such as Drocourt and Jacot, with the current lot being a fine example almost certainly supplied by the latter.Condition Report: Movement appears all-original and is in clean fully working condition. The dial is free from any visible damage. The case is generally in fine condition with faults limited to small corner chips to three of the four corners of the top glass and some slight blooming to the lacquer finish.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A IMPRESSIVE GEORGE III GILT MOUNTED MAHOGANY TWELVE-TUNE MUSICAL TABLE CLOCK OF LARGE PROPORTIONSEARDLEY NORTON, LONDON, CIRCA 1780The massive eleven pillar triple chain fusee movement playing a choice of twelve tunes via a 14 inch pinned cylinder on thirteen bells with sixteen hammers transversely mounted across the top of the mechanism, before sounding the hour on a further larger bell vertically mounted between the T-shaped plates each measuring 11 inches high by 18.75 inches wide at the projections, the going train with deadbeat escapement incorporating pallets visible through an arched slot cut into the backplate and regulated by 11.75 inch lenticular bob pendulum with holdfast applied just below the signature Eardley Norton London, scribed within a rococo scroll-bordered cartouche within fine rococo scroll engraving covering the entire backplate and incorporating number 1022 stamped to the right hand projection, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial applied with circular slightly convex fired white enamel Roman numeral hour disc signed EARDLEY NORTON, LONDON to centre within inner concentric calendar and with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with fine scroll-pierced steel hands and generous rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles, beneath arch applied with a further enamel plate incorporating subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT and CHIME/NOT CHIME selection dials set within fine gilt painted stylised neo-classical scrollwork infill and the upper margin with tune selection panels inscribed MINUET five times, MARCH three times, GAVOT, AIR, DANCE and HORNPIPE, the substantial gilt brass mounted mahogany case with generous pineapple finial over concave-sided platform fronted with a fine scroll-pierced and engraved gilt brass fret over drapery swag decorated upstand, with slender cushion-capped cavetto cornice and break-arch glazed front door bordered with brass fillet mouldings to the dial aperture and with conforming engraved gilt brass sound frets to the upper quadrants, the front angles with substantial brass stop-fluted Ionic columns with gilt caps and bases and the sides with large hinged carrying handles over rectangular panels bordered with complex mouldings and inset with brass fillet-edged arch-glazed apertures (the right hand side opening to access the movement), the rear with matching frets to the concave sided upstand and upper quadrants of the break-arch glazed door flanked by caddy moulded angles, on substantial ogee moulded skirt base applied with musical trophy centred gilt drapery swag mount to front over generous acanthus decorated bracket feet.96.5 (38ins) high, 66.5cm (26.25ins) wide, 37.5cm (14.75ins) deep. Eardley Norton was thought to have been born into a farming family from Rigsby, Lincolnshire, however he was apprenticed as a clockmaker 25 May 1743 to Robert Dawson of Alford. Latterly he moved to London where he is listed as working at 49 St. John's Street, Clerkenwell between 1760 and 1794. He was member of the Clockmakers' Company being freed in 1770 and remained a member until his death in 1792. He applied for a patent for a new type of striking mechanism for both clocks and watches on 31 August 1771. Norton enjoyed Royal patronage being perhaps best known for his silver mounted four-dial astronomical clock (made in collaboration with James Ferguson F.R.S.) commissioned by George III for Buckingham House (later Palace) which still remains in the Royal Collection (RCIN 30432). He married Mary Swinnerton of Oswestry and later retired to Stonegrove House (no longer existing), Little Stanmore, Middlesex, in the parish of Whitchurch. On his death, his business was taken over by the partnership of Gravell and Tolkien. He is buried at St. Lawrence's church in Little Stanmore. A related (albeit smaller) musical movement is illustrated and discussed in Ord-Hume, Arthur W.J.G. The MUSICAL CLOCK on pages 250-51 (plate XII/10) where it is noted that Eardley Norton was one of a small number of makers who utilised the 'carriage-change system' to select tunes whereby the entire bell and hammer assembly is moved along the barrel by a leaf spring, rather than the usual arrangement where the barrel being is shunted along beneath the hammers. The 'carriage-change system' was perhaps first used by Roger Dunster and then by John Ellicott junior and provincial makers such as John Taylor of Ashton.The impressive size and quality of the current lot would suggest that it was a one-off commission no doubt for a very wealthy client as a centrepiece for an important interior. Condition Report: Movement is complete and is in clean fully-working condition including the tune selection and chime/silent and strike/silent selection dials. The movement appears to be in its original format with no visible evidence of alteration however we are aware that work has been done hence it is likely that the musical work (train, barrel and hammer assembly/carousel) have been largely re-instated but to their exact original configuration/specification. Any work that has been done has been executed to the highest standard.The dial presents as in immaculate condition but again it is likely that the enamel panels have had some restoration undertaken (again to the highest standard).The movement and dial are original to the case which is in fine condition having been cosmetically restored. The cast pineapple finial and post are most likely additions and the slender cavetto mouldings bordering the top edge of the upstand have been replaced on both sides. The mask around the dial has had a repair (insert) to the right-hand side upright (behind the veneer overlap) however the size, arch profile etc of the aperture appears to be original hence this repair is not indicative of alteration (or suggestive that the movement and dial are not original to the case). The glazed dial aperture is about 1 inch larger than the mask aperture but this would appear to be an original feature. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor shrinkage, a few small veneer patch repairs, re-gluing of joints and replacements to some of the small lesser mouldings; and other minor bumps, scuffs and blemishes commensurate with age.Generally a very impressive fully operational example fully restored clean condition and is complete with pendulum, winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH GILT BRASS ANGLAISE RICHE CASED PORCELAIN PANEL INSET MINIATURE CARRIAGE TIMEPIECE THE PANELS BY LUCIEN SIMONNET, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURY The rectangular eight-day single train movement with silvered platform lever escapement and stamped with number 1782 to the lower left-hand corner of the backplate, the rectangular porcelain dial with musical trophy decorated centre to the white Roman numeral chapter ring and blued steel hands set within a polychrome painted Middle-Eastern landscape depicting a Mosque and minarets beside a lake, the anglaise riche case of Mignonnette No. 3 size with hinged reeded-baton centred carrying handle and bevelled top glass over moulded cornice with fluted frieze and Corinthian three-quarter columns with plain shafts to angles, the sides with finely painted porcelain panels depicting three-quarter length portraits of women in romanticised Middle-Eastern dress before buildings and incorporating monogram LS to lower right hand corners, the rear with bevel-glazed door, on ogee-outline base with pad feet. The clock 9cm (3.5ins) high handle down, 5.3cm (2.125ins) wide, 4.5cm (1.75ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. The work of Lucien Simonnet (1849-1926) is discussed by Larry L. Fabian in his article Carriage Clock Porcelain. Artistic pedigrees hiding in plain view published in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY December 2019 (pages 501-13). Simonnet was a Sevres trained painter of porcelain who appeared to specialise in producing the finest figural panels often based on works by well-known artists of the period. Fabian highlights three examples with three-quarter portrait panels after Emile Vernet-Lecomte and Charles Louis Muller executed in the romantic historic Middle-Eastern 'Orientalist' style. A fine grande-sonnerie striking carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm also incorporating painted porcelain panels by Louis Simonnet was sold in these rooms on 24th June 2020 (lot 131) for £4,500 hammer.Miniature carriage clocks are called Mignonnettes or 'little darlings' and come in three graded sizes with No. 1 being the smallest.Condition Report: The movement appears all original, the spring is wound and the balance wheel free to oscillate however the clock is not running most likely due to the escapement itself been 'gummed-up' with old lubricant. The mechanism is generally a little discoloured neglected and there are a couple of drops of congealed oil on the backplate. The dial is free from noticeable damage although the centre appears to show some very light rubbing to the glaze. The case is generally in fine condition with minimal wear to the gilding and the glasses appear free from visible damage including corner chips. Both side panels appear free from visible damage however the left hand panel appears to have received some very slight restoration (retouching) to the rear edge adjacent to the corner pillar shaft probably to address some slight edge chipping.Timepiece does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
