Lot 115
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.
