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 origins of the porcelain elements can be traced to back to Louis-Martin Lebeuf (1792-1854) and Jean Baptiste Garften Millet (1797-1875) who purchased the combined faience factories of Criel and Montereaux in 1841 (which had been under the same ownership since 1819). They employed George Vernon and his son of the same name as art directors who were subsequently succeeded by Henry Félix Anatoie Barluet at some point after 1849. Barluet went on to create a worker city to house his employees, however the Criel factory was sadly destroyed by fire in 1895 leaving the Montreaux factory to continue alone in the production of pottery and soft paste porcelain well into the 20th century.The porcelain sections of the current lot are unusual in that they incorporate applied clustered coloured glass bead infill to the wings of the butterflies which catches and reflects light in such a way as to bring the insects to life. This is due to the intensity of the reflected light changing as the angle from which they are viewed varies, and is particularly effective when lit straight-on by a single source. This scarce form of decoration is normally only seen on a select few carriage clock cases with two examples illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS pages 158-59 (Figs 9.55 and 9.56). The presence of the Barluet et Cie mark on the back of the porcelain front panel of the current lot would appear to confirm the source of these unusual bead-decorated panels.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and all original. The going train will just about run and the clock will strike however a gentle clean/service is required. The dial has a relatively faint hairline crack across the dial passing from XI to V otherwise is in good condition with the insect missing only one or two tiny glass beads. The frieze panel is in good condition with faults limited to a few beads missing to the upper tip of the blue butterfly wing and the right-hand tip of the blue/orange butterfly wing. Case otherwise is in good original condition with light to moderate wear to the gilt and silvered details and overall slight mellowing to the lacquered brass finishes. The side pieces have a few beads missing in places and the finishes are a little more oxidised than those of the clock otherwise are in good original condition.Clock has a pendulum but no winding key.
