A rare French gilt brass carriage clock with two-plane 'chaffcutter' escapement Paul Garnier, Paris, circa 1840 The eight-day two train movement with two-plane 'chaffcutter' escapement and three-arm monometallic balance set between the plates and striking the hours on a bell mounted to the backplate signed on an applied plaque PAUL GARNIER, A PARIS towards upper left hand corner and stamped P.G., Brevete over serial number 514 to centre, the rectangular engine-turned silvered brass Roman numeral dial with radial design to centre within chapter ring and 'watered-silk' infill incorporating vacant signature plaque to lower margin and with Breguet style blued steel moon hands, the gilt brass one-piece caddy moulded case with hinged slender baton handle above upward sliding front glass for winding, on cavetto moulded skirt base with inset rounded angles, (in neglected, unrestored condition), 14.5cm (5.75ins) high excluding handle. Paul Garnier is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS as born 1801 and receiving 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. Paul 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 with its 'chaffcutter' escapement, engine turned 'watered-silk' dial and squat one-piece case with wooden block insert to underside can be firmly identified as a 'Series I' carriage clock by Garnier as identified by Allix (see Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS pages 56-7).
