A fine George IV brass mounted carriage clock with pull-trip repeat James McCabe, London, circa 1830 The five pillar twin chain fusee movement with lever escapement set along with all wheel-work above the centre wheel within a separate four pillar subframe vertically mounted on the backplate with regulation by sprung gold three-arm balance with cabochon endstone, over vertical hour bell to centre and engraved signature Ja’s McCabe, Royal Exchange, London to lower edge, the 3,25 inch circular gilt Roman numeral dial with ‘watered silk’ engine turned centre and inscribed JA’S McCABE ROYAL EXCHANGE, LONDON, 1646 to the inside edge of the chapter ring, with blued steel moon hands set behind crisply moulded fixed convex glazed cast bezel within surround modelled as a snake consuming its own tail, the architectural pedimented case with block upstand incorporating brass inset plate fitted with concealed hinged carrying handle and engraved JAMES CUDDY ESQ’R and acroteria finials over triangular tympanum and simple brass cornice moulding, the full-height front door with concave-topped brass line strung panel beneath dial aperture flanked by brass edged angles, the sides and rear door with brass fillet inset arched windows, on shallow skirt base with brass top moulding and bun feet, the seatboard and rear lower rail of the case each stamped with serial number 1646, 24cm (9.5ins) high with handle down. Provenance: From the name engraved to the brass plate (incorporating concealed hinged carrying handle) the current lot was most likely originally supplied to a gentleman with the name James Cuddy, who was probably of Irish origin. Indeed a surgeon of this name, who originated from Norther Ireland, served at the Madras Establishment (from 1805) eventually rising to the rank of Superintendent Surgeon in 1828. Cuddy returned to Europe in 1832 before going back to Madras in 1834 where he was appointed onto the medical board in 1838; regrettably Cuddy died in 1841 just as he was looking to retire to homeland and was buried in India. Although there is no record to indicate that the current lot was supplied to this gentleman his status and lifestyle certainly fits hence it would be tantalising to speculate that he acquired it during his return to Europe in 1832-34. Literature: The current lot is illustrated and described in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS on page 289 (Figs. 20-21) where it is described as being veneered in partridge wood and having the lowest serial number for a carriage clock by McCabe seen by the author. James McCabe senior was born in Belfast but moved to London in the 1770’s first working at 11 Bells Buildings, Fleet Street before moving to 34 King Street, Cheapside in 1783. After a short spell there he relocated to number 8 in 1788 where he remained until finally settling at 97 Cornhill in 1804. James McCabe gained his freedom of the Clockmaker’s Company in 1786 and was appointed Warden in 1811, the year of his death. McCabe was succeeded by his son of the same name who was to become one of the most successful English clock and watchmakers of the 19th century.James McCabe junior was apprenticed to Reid and Auld of Edinburgh and was admitted to the clockmakers company as a Free Brother in 1822. Around this time McCabe entered into short lived partnership with Strahan (probably Charles who gained his freedom of the Clockmaker’s Company in 1815). From 1826 McCabe managed the business alone from 97 Cornhill until 1838 when he was forced to relocate to 32 Cornhill due to a major fire at the Royal Exchange. It was at this time (1825-43) that Thomas Cole worked for McCabe before setting up his own to produce distinctive and highly decorative timepieces in his own unmistakable style. The business was subsequently continued by Robert Jeremy until his retirement in 1883. The current lot is unusual in that it has a case made from timber (albeit with extensive brass fittings) rather than entirely of brass. However the use of wood and brass very much lends itself to the architectural nature of the design. The combination of raised block/tablet upstand and acroteria finials to the pediment combined with the simplified mouldings and full-arch side and rear apertures is reminiscent of the ‘stripped-back’ Classicism pioneered by the Architect Sir John Soane in the early 19th century. Indeed when considering these details, and the overall sophisticated aesthetic quality of the current lot, it would have been the height of fashion when it was made.

A fine French gilt brass gorge cased carriage clock with alarm Le Roy and Fils, Paris, circa 1870 The eight-day two train bell striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and engraved with serial number 7051 over text Repassée par Leroy & fils h’rs, Palais Royal 13 & 15 Paris and further stamped number 3455 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial inscribed LEROY & FILS H’RS, PALAIS ROYAL 13 & 15, PARIS over 236 REGENT STREET, LONDON to centre and with blued steel moon hands over alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-glazed frosted gilt gorge case with hinged carrying handle over large top glass, 14cm (5.5ins) high excluding handle. The firm of 'Le Roy & Fils' can be traced back to 1785 when the business was founded by Basille Charles Le Roy at 60 Galerie de Pierre, Palais Royal, Paris. During the Revolutionary years the firm relocated to 88 Rue de L'Egalite before finally settling at Galerie Montpensier, 13 and 15 Palais Royal. In 1828 Basille Charles died leaving the business to his son, Charles-Louis, who continued producing clocks signed 'Le Roy & Fils' until 1845 when the firm was sold to his former employee Casimir Halley Desfontaines; who in turn was succeeded by his son M. George Halley Desfontaines in 1883. In 1888 M. George Halley died leaving the business to his brother Jules Halley who then took-in as a partner Louis Leroy (apparently no relation to the founders of the firm). In 1899 the firm left Palais Royal and moved to Boulevard de La Madeleine where it continued trading in the hands of various successors until well into the 20th century. It is most likely that the current clock was supplied to Le Roy and Fils by the The Holingue brothers, (Jean-Francois and Louis) who were very fine makers of carriage clocks with workshops located in Saint-Nicolas- d’Aliermont from around 1840. The Holingue brothers supplied many of the top makers of the period with both movements and complete clocks including Paul Garnier, Moise Bolviller, Athanese Bourdin, Leroy and Drocourt. The workshops were subsequently acquired by Alfred Drocourt in 1875 who continued with the movement serial numbering system established by his predecessors. The serial number 3455 stamped to both the lower left hand corner of the backplate and to the underside of the case pf the current lot will almost certainly be for the Holingue brothers whilst the engraved number 7051 will be for Le Roy and Fils. Please note: As an addendum to the above footnote the information relating to Hollingue Frères and their working relationships with Le Roy and others needs to be fully credited to Leigh Extence whose valuable research can be found at www.extence.co.uk.

A French lacquered brass carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm made for the Middle-Eastern Market Retailed by J. Bauer, Paris, late 19th century The eight-day bell-striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement, alarm sounding on the same bell and stamped with number 205 opposing engraved initials P.R. to the lower margin of the backplate, the rectangular white enamel dial inscribed J. BAUER, PARIS to centre within ‘Turkish’ numeral chapter ring and outer minute track, with blued steel spade hands over conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-glazed lacquered brass obis case with hinged carrying handle, 14.5cm (5.75ins) high excluding handle; with original leather covered outer travelling case.

A French gilt brass carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm Henri Jacot, Paris, late 19th century The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and alarm sounding on the same gong, the backplate stamped with H.J. parrot trademark and numbered 15334 to the lower left hand corner, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands over alarm setting dial to lower margin, the frosted gilt bevel-glazed corniche case with hinged carrying handle, 14.5cm (5.75ins) high excluding handle; with a leather covered outer travelling case. Henri Jacot is recorded in 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. Henri Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920. Please note: As an addendum to the above footnote the information provided by Allix and Bonnert relating to the business being succeeded by Henri’s nephew of the same name is incorrect. Research undertaken by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death in 1868, Henri's business was continued by his brother Julien who was actually 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.

A fine French champleve enamelled gilt brass ‘bamboo’ carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm Unsigned, late 19th century The two train eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and numbered 1860 to the lower left hand corner of the backplate, the rectangular dial plate champlevé enamel decorated with asymmetric trails of blue flowering foliage in the Japonesque style around a gilt Arabic numeral chapter ring with blued steel hands and conforming enamel centre over subsidiary alarm setting dial, the bevel-gazed case with frame modelled to resemble sections of bamboo overlapping at the corners and with each segment champlevé enamelled with further blue floral sprays on a cream ground, with conforming hinged carrying handle to the gilt panel-glazed top and angled bamboo feet 16.5cm (6.5ins) high excluding handle; with a tooled morocco covered travelling case.

A French lacquered brass carriage clock with push-button repeat Retailed by Charles Frodsham, London, early 20th century The eight-day two train bell striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and stamped with serial number 4895 to backplate, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial inscribed CHARLES FRODSHAM, TO THE QUEEN, 84 STRAND, 18898 to lower margin and with steel moon hands, the obis bevel-glazed case with hinged carrying handle, 13.5cm (5.25ins) high excluding handle.

A fine gilt brass grande-sonnerie striking gorge cased carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm Lepine, Paris, circa 1880 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 and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the backplate signed Lepine over engraved number 27367 and the inside of the frontplate stamped with numbers 3, 273 and with the letter H, the dial with rectangular rococo scroll and matted diamond lattice engraved frosted gilt mask enclosing recessed circular white enamel disc signed Lepine AParis, Place des Victoires 2 to centre within chapter ring with vertical Arabic numerals and five minute markers to outer track, with fine pierced sculpted gilt hands over subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-glazed gilt gorge case with large top glass and G’de Sonnerie/Silence/P’te Sonnerie selection lever to underside, 15cm (6ins) high excluding handle. The eminent Lepine dynasty of Parisian clockmakers was established Jean Antoine Lepine who started horological career in Geneva. In around 1744 he moved to Paris as was apprenticed to the King’s clockmaker André Caron (1697-1775), whose daughter he married in 1756, before becoming a partner in his business. Lepine was received as a maître in 1762 and at the same time he was appointed to the coveted position of Horloger du Roi (Louix XV) et du Garde-Meuble de la Coronne. Until 1772 he operated from premises in the rue Saint-Denis and then transferred his business several times until 1789 when it moved to 12 Place des Victoires. By this time the running of the business was in the hands of his son-in-law, Claude-Pierre Raguet-Lepine (1753-1810), who had joined Lepine in 1783.After his death in 1810, Raguet-Lepine’s only son, Alexandre, sold the business to Jean-Paul Chapuy, who is believed to be responsible for assigning a numbering system (starting at 4000) to Lepine clock movements. Whilst trading under the Lepine name Chapuy supplied clocks to no less than Napoleon I; Jerome, King of Westphalia; Charles IV, King of Spain; and the princes de Talleyrand. The business was subsequently sold to Calvet, who was succeeded in 1840 by Fabre. Boulay purchased the firm in 1853 and resold it to Roux in 1885. It was then passed on to Ferdinand Verger, who resold it in 1914 and it continued trading under the name Lepine until 1919, when it was taken over by L. Leroy.

A fine engraved gilt brass oval carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm Retailed by J. Pyke, London, third quarter of the 19th century The two train eight-day bell striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and alarm sounding on the hour bell, the frontplate with stamped oblong cartouche inscribed E. PRONOST, … PARIS, the dial with fine rococo scroll engraved rectangular mask enclosing a inset white enamel Roman numeral hour disc inscribed J.PYKE, 138 NEW BOND ST., LONDON to centre and with blued steel moon hands over conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the substantial engraved satin gilt oval case with hinged scroll outline carrying handle over fine rococo scroll border engraved top and repeating leaf decorated top mouldings, the front and sides with thick curved bevel glass panels set into border-engraved frames and the rear with conforming pin-hinged door, on ogee profile skirt base adorned with bands of repeating leaves over linked cartouche panels on a matted ground, 14cm (5,5ins) high excluding handle.

A rare French gilt brass ‘humpback’ cased petit sonnerie striking carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm L. Leroy et Cie, Paris, circa 1900 The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and sounding the hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement and alarm set via a small silvered Arabic numeral dial positioned the winding squares and sounding on the smaller gong, the backplate signed L. Leroy & Cie, 7. B’d de la Madeleine, Paris to upper margin and numbered 18080 to centre, the 3.25 inch wide engine-turned silvered brass arched dial with Roman numeral chapter ring and gilt spade hands over repeat signature L. LEROY & CIE, 7. BOUL’D DE LA MADALEINE, PARIS inscribed in three lines onto small chamfered panel reserves, the arched gilt brass case with hinged gilt oval pendant handle over bevel-glazed moulded dial aperture and slender architectural stepped ogee shoulder mouldings to each side, the rear with hinged door and standing on four generous bun feet, the underside with strike selection lever inscribed Silence/Sonnerie, 15cm (6ins) high excluding handle; with original blue velvet black leather covered travelling case stamped gold lettering L. LEROY & CIE to front edge. Provenance: Sold at Christies, South Kensington, London The Dr. Eugene and Rose Antelis Collection of Important French Carriage Clocks 26th November 1998 (lot 76) for a premium inclusive £2,990. The firm of 'L. Leroy & Cie' can be traced back to 1785 when the business was founded by Basille Charles Le Roy at 60 Galerie de Pierre, Palais Royal, Paris. During the Revolutionary years the firm relocated to 88 Rue de L'Egalite before finally settling at Galerie Montpensier, 13 and 15 Palais Royal. In 1828 Basille Charles died leaving the business to his son, Charles-Louis, who continued producing clocks signed 'Le Roy & Fils' until 1845 when the firm was sold to his former employee Casimir Halley Desfontaines; who in turn was succeeded by his son M. George Halley Desfontaines in 1883. In 1888 M. George Halley died leaving the business to his brother Jules Halley who then took-in as a partner Louis Leroy (apparently no relation to the founders of the firm). In 1899 the firm left Palais Royal and moved to Boulevard de La Madeleine where it continued trading in the hands of various successors until well into the 20th century.The arched ‘humpback’ form of the case of current lot was most likely first used by Abraham-Louis Breguet in around 1822 (see Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development page 43). During the latter years of the 19th century this style of case was revived with English makers such as Jump and Nicole Nielsen producing highly complicated carriage clocks in the Breguet tradition. The current lot would almost certainly have been made to follow this fashion with the engine turned dial echoing that of Breguet. The classic simplicity of the ‘humpback’ carriage clock remains popular today as demonstrated by the premium inclusive £5,312 achieved for a closely related (but hour striking only) example, also by Leroy (No. 17894), sold at Bonhams, London Fine Clocks, 19th June 2019 (lot 4).

A fine French engraved gilt brass and painted porcelain panel inset carriage clock with push-button repeat Retailed by Payne and Co., London, circa 1860 The eight-day bell striking movement with platform lever escapement and stamped with serial number 6421 next to engraved retailer’s signature PAYNE & Co., 163 NEW BOND STREET, LONDON to the lower margin of the backplate, the rectangular blue ground porcelain dial polychrome painted with a figure in 17th century style dress to centre within Roman numeral chapter ring with gilt inverted trident half hour markers and gilt outer border, with pierced blued steel moon hands and gilt foliate motifs to upper and lower margins, the corniche case with hinged carrying handle and porcelain panel painted with a cherubic artist within blue ground gilt surround to top over repeating geometric engraved bands to frieze, the sides and rear door with panels painted with 17th century figures courting within conforming blue and gilt surrounds, the base mouldings engraved with panels of repeating rosettes, 14.5cm (5.75ins) high. The firm of Payne and Company was founded by William Payne who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London circa 1820-40, other sources suggest that he worked from 1811 until 1856 with the firm continuing to trade as Payne and Company until around 1875.

A fine French engraved gilt brass and porcelain panel inset carriage clock with Le-Roy and Fils patent keyless winding, push-button repeat and alarm Le Roy and Fils, Paris, circa 1880 The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and alarm sounding on the same gong, both trains wound via a contrate wheel connected to a large fixed key engraved LE ROY & FILS, PATENT 9501 fitted within the underside of the case configured to wind the going winding in one direction and the strike in the other, the backplate stamped with partially obscured serial number 59.. the dial with rectangular gilt brass mask engraved with leafy scrolling foliage enclosing a circular white enamel Roman numeral hour disc with Arabic five minutes to outer track and blued steel moon hands over conforming alarm setting dial to lower margin, the finely engraved gilt brass cannelee case with hinged carrying handle to the glazed oval panel centred floral spray decorated top over border-engraved top mouldings and inset porcelain side panels each finely painted with a romantic ruinous Classical landscape within an applied ‘split pearl’ and gilt painted cobalt blue ground border, the rear with hinged door engraved with intense floral scrolls on a matted ground, the base decorated with further conforming shaped panel infill, 15cm (6ins) high excluding handle. The firm of 'Le Roy & Fils' can be traced back to 1785 when the business was founded by Basille Charles Le Roy at 60 Galerie de Pierre, Palais Royal, Paris. During the Revolutionary years the firm relocated to 88 Rue de L'Egalite before finally settling at Galerie Montpensier, 13 and 15 Palais Royal. In 1828 Basille Charles died leaving the business to his son, Charles-Louis, who continued producing clocks signed 'Le Roy & Fils' until 1845 when the firm was sold to his former employee Casimir Halley Desfontaines; who in turn was succeeded by his son M. George Halley Desfontaines in 1883. In 1888 M. George Halley died leaving the business to his brother Jules Halley who then took-in as a partner Louis Leroy (apparently no relation to the founders of the firm). In 1899 the firm left Palais Royal and moved to Boulevard de La Madeleine where it continued trading in the hands of various successors until well into the 20th century.The ingenious patent keyless bottom-wind system fitted to the current lot is described in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development pages 219-21.

A fine French engraved gilt brass and porcelain panel inset carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm Unsigned but possibly Jules Brunelot, Paris, circa 1880 The eight-day two-train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement, alarm sounding on the same gong and stamped with trademark formed as the letter B within a circle to the lower left hand corner of the backplate, the rectangular porcelain panel dial with fine polychrome floral painted centre within pink and gilt bordered Roman numeral cartouche chapter ring, with gilt spade hands, the lower margin incorporating subsidiary alarm setting dial flanked by painted figures of a peasant girl and cupid, the upper decorated with fine bunched floral sprays, the finely engraved gilt brass corniche case with hinged carrying handle to the oval glazed panel centred rococo scroll decorated top over porcelain side panels each centred with a finely painted cartouche of a courting couple in traditional dress within an applied turquoise bead and gilt painted pink ground border, the caddy moulded corner uprights with spiral ribbon engraved decoration and the rear with hinged glazed door incorporating a scroll engraved frame, the base decorated with further rococo scrollwork on a matted ground, 13.5cm (5.25ins) high excluding handle. The trademark stamped to the lower left hand corner of the backplate of the current lot (letter B within a circle) is noted in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as possibly being for Jules Brunelot although no evidence has been found to confirm this.

A fine and rare French engraved gilt brass five minute-repeating carriage clock with ‘Dumb-Striking’ Indistinctly signed, late 19th century The eight-day gong hour-striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and five minute repeat on a second smaller gong, the rear with plunger operated hammer arrest lever and stamped with small indistinct trademark serial number 20721 to lower margin, the dial with rectangular gilt engine-turned mask enclosing an inset Roman numeral enamel hour disc with red Arabic five minutes to outer track and blued steel moon hands, the cannelee engraved satin gilt bevel glazed case with hinged carrying handle over oval panel with hinged carrying handle to the glazed oval panel centred rococo scroll decorated top incorporating Minutes and Hours repeat plungers to front edge and a further plunger labelled Dumb Striking to the rear, with repeating foliate motif top mouldings and uprights over rococo scroll decorated base, 14cm (5.5ins) high. Five-minute repeating clocks are discussed in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development on pages 197-98. Of the two variations described by Allix the current lot falls into the first with the strike-work being related to that of a grande or petit sonnerie striking clock. However the current lot is unusual in being of this type but having separate plungers for sounding full five minute repeat or hours only as well as well as ‘dumb striking’. Another closely related example with this unusual configuration (housed in a plain unengraved case) was sold at Christies, South Kensington, London The Dr. Eugene and Rose Antelis Collection of Important French Carriage Clocks 26th November 1998 (lot 106).

A rare French lacquered brass giant carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm Unsigned, late 19th century The substantial two train eight-day gong striking movement with four double-screwed pillars, large silvered platform lever escapement and alarm sounding on a bell mounted within the base of the case, the backplate stamped with a roundel inscribed MEDAILLE D’OR. 1822, Paris to lower right and numbered 2765 to lower left, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel hands and alarm setting dial to lower margin, the substantial bevel-glazed corniche case with hinged carrying handle and thick glasses, (dial with faults to restored enamel), 21.5cm (8.5ins) high excluding handle.

A fine silvered and gilt brass grande-sonnerie striking cariatides carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm Probably by Henry Jacot, Paris, late 19th century 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 and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the dial with rectangular silvered mask enclosing recessed circular white enamel disc with green line rosette centre within cartouche Roman numeral chapters and entwined scroll half hour markers, with blued steel spade hands over conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-glazed frosted gilt break-arch cariatides case with hinged reeded carrying handle over thick curved top glass to pediment inset with a cast silvered laurel wreath to tympanum, The cornice with reeded band over, Classical female term applied canted angles, on conforming reeded band decorated ogee moulded base with stepped skirt, the underside with G’de Sonnerie/Silence/P’te Sonnerie selection lever, 18cm (7.25ins) high excluding handle. The current lot can be directly compared to an example attributed to Henry Jacot illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 107 (Fig. 6-44) where the design of the dial is noted as ‘typical of his work’. Another clock by Jacot in a case of identical form is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development page 172 (Plate VII/24) as well as on the rear of the dust jacket. Henry Jacot is recorded in 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. Henri Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920. Please note: As an addendum to the above footnote the information provided by Allix and Bonnert relating to the business being succeeded by Henri’s nephew of the same name is incorrect. Research undertaken by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death in 1868, Henri's business was continued by his brother Julien who was actually 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.

A fine French painted porcelain panel inset engraved gilt brass carriage clock with push-button repeat Drocourt, Paris, circa 1870 The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and backplate stamped with oval D.C. trademark over serial number 8526 to the lower left hand corner, the rectangular porcelain dial polychrome painted with an 18th century interior featuring a young girl playing with a puppy to centre within Roman numeral chapter ring with elaborate gilt half hour markers and blued steel spade hands, over conforming scene of a man conversing with his wife whilst she operates a wool spinner within gilt scroll and blue ground borders, the upper margin with continuation scene, the frosted gilt cannelee case with hinged carrying handle over painted oval porcelain panel decorated with a female working a spinning wheel inset into the fine floral scroll engraved top, the sides with panels similarly decorated with 18th century style French genre scenes within gilt and blue ground borders, with bevel-glazed rear door and entwined leaf engraved caddy moulded corner uprights over conforming rococo scroll engraved skirt base, 14.5cm (5.75ins) high; with a tooled leather covered travelling case. Pierre Drocourt is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as born in 1819 and setting up in business as a clockmaker in Paris in 1853. He initially worked from Rue Limoges later moving to 28 Rue Debelleyme, Paris and was succeeded by his son, Alfred (born 1847), in 1872. The blancs roulants, rough movements, were made in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont, a town outside Dieppe, where Drocourt had workshops until their sale in 1904, being premises purchased from Holingue frères in 1875 who had previously supplied Drocourt. The firm was awarded numerous international exhibition medals and mentions including Silver in Paris 1878 and Gold in 1889. Please note: As an addendum to the above footnote the dates relating to Pierre and Alfred Drocourt together with the information relating to their operations in Saint-Nicolas-d’Aliermont and their relationship with Hollingue Frères is additional to the information provided by Allix and Bonnert. Full acknowledgement for the research leading to the provision of this valuable information needs to be given to Leigh Extence whose work can be found online at www.extence.co.uk. In addition to this Leigh Extence has confirmed that the Rue Limoges and Rue Debelleyme addresses were actually the same premises renamed during the process of rationalisation and merger of Parisian streets in 1865.

A fine and rare French engraved gilt brass carriage clock with two-plane 'chaffcutter' escapement Attributed to Paul Garnier, Paris, retailed by A. Demeur, Brussels, circa 1845 The eight-day two train movement with two-plane 'chaffcutter' escapement regulated by three-arm monometallic balance set between the plates and countwheel striking the hours on a bell mounted on the backplate concealing stamped number 1719 to centre, the fine rococo scroll engraved rectangular gilt brass dial flush fitted with a Roman numeral blue-on-white enamel hour disc inscribed A. DEMEUR. H’er de laCour, BRUXELLES to centre and with blued steel trefoil hands, the gilt brass one-piece caddy moulded bevel-glazed case with hinged slender baton handle above fine foliate scroll and herringbone band engraved frame incorporating upward sliding rear panel decorated with rococo motifs and with shuttered winding holes, on cavetto moulded panel-engraved skirt base with inset rounded angles, 12.5cm (5ins) high excluding handle. Paul Garnier is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development as born 1801 and studying under Antide Janvier before setting up his own workshops in 1825. Garnier was awarded 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. In 1916 Paul Garnier’s watch and clock collection was bequeathed to the Louvre. 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 utilises Garniers 'chaffcutter' escapement -the design of which is based on Sully and Debaufre’s frictional rest watch/chronometer escapements. The engraved one-piece caddy moulded case is typical of Garnier’s second series and can be closely compared with an example illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development on pages 62 and 63 (Plates II/30 and 31); both clocks also share the same blued steel trefoil hands.
