A FRENCH GORGE CASED GRANDE SONNERIE STRIKING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH ALARMUNSIGNED BUT PROBABLY BY HENRI JACOT, PARIS, CIRCA 1870The 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 balance and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the inside of both plates stamped 494 and the backplate further stamped 1976 to lower left, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands and subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, 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 G'DE SONNERIE. CLOCK / SILENCE. SILENT / P'TE SONNERIE. QUARTERS. 14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep, 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.Condition Report: Clock is running and the grande-sonnerie striking is working correctly except that the lever to the base will continue to strike full grande-sonnerie when in the petit-sonnerie position (silent position operates correctly). The alarm mechanism is in working order. The movement generally is in relatively clean condition although a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. The dial appears free form visible faults. The case is generally in fine condition with no visible chips or other damage to the glasses. The gilding has overall wear and the protective lacquer is starting to break down causing patchy discolouration in places.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
