A fine gilt giant grande-sonnerie striking and repeating triple-calendar carriage clock with alarmJ.C. Ravoux, Paris, dated 1856The eight-day two train movement with plates measuring 5.75 by 4.125 inches, five and six-spoke wheel crossings to going and strike trains, platform lever escapement stamped RAVOUX twice to the backing plate and jewelled pivots for the contrate and fourth wheels of the going train, the strike train ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of bells positioned within the base of the case via vertically pivoted blued steel hammer arbors before sounding the hour again at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, the backplate with visible alarm motionwork and central large circular white enamel REVEIL setting dial annotated with twenty-four hour dial 1-12 twice labelled MIDI, MATIN, MINUIT and SOIR and with further vertically pivoted hammer for sounding on the larger of the two bells in the base, the upper left with SILENCE/SONNERIE pivoted strike selection switch, the centre with knurled hand-setting knob over signature FAIT PAR J.C. RAVOUX, and with QUARTIEMME and JOURS calendar setting functions to lower edge beneath, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed RAVOUX to centre and with pierced blued steel hands over triple subsidiary day-of-the-week, date-of-the-month and month-of-the-year dials annotated in French and with blued steel arrow pointers to lower margin beneath, the rear of the dial signed Valat, the early-type gilt multi-piece bevel-glazed case with hinged faceted carrying handle over top glass with rounded corners and cavetto cornice incorporating inset rounded angles over caddy moulded uprights, the rear with pin-hinged glazed door, on skirt base with conforming inset rounded angles and pierced sound fret to underside, 20cm (8ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. J.C. Ravoux, the maker of this fine carriage clock is apparently unrecorded, however the signature Valat to the rear of the dial is almost certainly that of Etienne Valat who worked from Rue Montmorency 7, near the shop of Henri Jacot, for whom he also made dials.The current lot is particularly noteworthy for the quality of its construction in particular the provision of five and six spoke wheel crossings and jewelled pivots to the upper of part of the going train. The alarm mechanism is also very well thought-out with the setting dial allowing for sounding once during the twenty-four hour period rather than the usual once every twelve hours. Although the case is of relatively simple design it is again finely made with tight crisp mouldings as well as being very well proportioned, which again adds to the clocks overall restrained but high quality feel.Condition Report: The movement is running and striking/quarter striking however the hour notation is two-hours out (ie. sounds once at 3 and twice at 4 etc.) and is a little lazy/slow and sometimes misses with the longer hours hence requires some fine adjustment. Otherwise movement appears to be complete and in good original condition with no obvious alterations (although there are two plugged holes in the backlate which seem to date from the time of making hence not indicative of later alteration). The calendar-work appears to be complete and in working order as is the alarm however the alarm setting square (to the centre of the alarm dial) is currently obscured by the boss which carries the hand which appears to be too tight to be able to be pushed home over the square.The dial has very slight restoration to the upper left corner and some light wear around the centre hole (both visible only on very close examination) otherwise appears free from visible faults. The rear door glass has a chip to the upper corner and some very light fritting to the lower edge otherwise glasses appear free from visible damage. The case has been re-gilded and is generally in good condition with noticeable faults limited to a slight scratch to the top near the front right hand corner and another deeper vertical scratch to the rear skirt.Clock has a winding key.
