The clock 39cm (15.25ins) high, 21,5cm (8.25ins) wide, 13cm (5ins) deep; the side pieces 27.5cm (10.75ins) high, 10cm (4ins) wide. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. Achille Brocot is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as born in 1817 and died in 1878. The Museums Victoria (Australia) website notes that Achille patented several improvements in clock mechanism escapements, and invented the 'Brocot Suspension', an adjustable pendulum spring which enabled time keeping to be regulated by altering the length of the pendulum suspension spring by a key turned in the dial. He also introduced a jewelled deadbeat escapement, sometimes called a visible escapement as it was often mounted in the middle of the dial. Achille was awarded a first class medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1855, and in 1856 was appointed Treasurer to La Société des Horlogers in Paris. He published a 'Calculation of the Wheels by Approximation' in 1862. His sons Achille and Paul continued the business following Achille senior's death 1878. The firm was taken over by rival clock maker Gustave Gibaudet in 1889. The highly decorative panels of the current lot employs a series of differing techniques to gild, silver, copper and chemically patinate the finely finished relief cast and engraved scenes to provide depth and contrast. This rare form of decoration is normally only seen on a select few high-end carriage clock cases with an example illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 160 (Fig. 9.38) where the decoration is described as 'quite outstanding' and 'must have been one of the most time-consuming methods of decorating a carriage clock'.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and all original. The going train will just about run and the clock will strike but rather slowly indicating that a gentle clean/service is required. The chapter ring has been polished revealing the copper metal beneath hence will require re-silvering. The hands appear original and are undamaged. The case is in good original condition retaining original multi-colour finishes to panels with only relatively minor wear. The main body of the case is satin lacquered brass with mouldings and applied details picked-out with gilt and multicolour finishes; overall the cock exhibits slight mellowing and rubbing to the finishes. The condition of the garniture side pieces reflects that of the case however three of the handles have been pushed-in a little causing minor denting at the junction with the shoulder.Clock has a numbered pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

The firm was taken over by rival clock maker Gustave Gibaudet in 1889.  The exquisite side panels of the current lot are textbook examples of the finest enamel-work produced in the Limoges workshops during the second half of the 19th century. The Renaissance subject matter along with the colour palette (in particular the dark ground) revives the style for which the region became particularly well-known for during the 16th Century. Indeed the popularity and re-establishment of the Limoges enamel workshops during the second half of the 19th century was born out of a deep appreciation for the Renaissance originals which had become highly prized by connoisseurs earlier in the century. As often the case with French revivalist art the intention was to match (or even if possible exceed) the quality of the originals hence there was generally a 'no expense spared' approach to execution in order to achieve this objective.The panels of the current lot carefully and cleverly employ a mixture of opaque and translucent enamels to create depth, texture and lustre which varies under different lighting conditions. Some areas in particular, such as the areas representing silk within the garments of the figures, use the finished ground of the metal plate to great effect by allowing reflected to pass through vibrant pigmented transparent enamel surface layers.Condition Report: Movement appears complete, all-original and is in full working condition however the mechanism is a little dirty/discoloured hence a gentle clean/service is advised. The dial has a very light hairline crack across the centre of the disc (only visible on very close examination) otherwise dial is in fine condition. The case is in fine condition with good strong satin gilt finish only having minor localised oxidation/discolouration in places. The enamel side panels are free from obvious on close examination some restoration to the brim of the hat in front of the female figure's face can be seen. The rear door glass has a very small chip to the upper right hand corner otherwise glasses appear free form any visible damage.Clock does not have a winding key.  Condition Report Disclaimer
