A rare mid-19th century French carriage clock with chaff cutter escapementPaul Garnier, Paris number 2976The early multi-piece case with facetted handle over a bevelled glazed inspection panel (the repeat button passing through the glass), moulded uprights and a plinth base, the solid rear door with hinged shutter opening to reveal the winding and setting squares. The Roman white enamel dial with minute track and numerals picked out in light and dark blue, the centre signed Paul Garnier Hger de la Marine Paris, above blued steel trefoil hands and a subsidiary Arabic alarm dial with blued steel setting hand. The three-spring barrel movement with Garnier's own chaff-cutter escapement with three-arm monometallic balance, and extremely delicate arbors throughout, rack striking the hours and half-hours on a bell. The back plate signed Paul Garnier Paris, and numbered on the backplate under the bell, the rear door, shutter and base also repeat numbered. Ticking, striking, sounding the alarm and repeating. Together with a double-ended winding key. 18cms (7ins) highFootnotes:Paul Garnier (né Jean-Paul) was born in 1801 in Épinal, France, moving first to Luxeuil to carry out a watchmaking apprenticeship, and then to Paris in 1820 to join Lépine's workshops, before finally establishing his own business in 1825. In the 1827 Exhibition he exhibited an astronomical clock and some mantel regulators, which won him a silver medal. He would win silver medals again at both the 1834 and 1839 Exhibitions, before winning a gold medal in 1844. Around this time, he seems to have written to the formidable Antide Janvier, asking for permission to use the title 'Elève de Janvier', as Garnier, at some point, attended the free Horological school Janvier established in 1802. Janvier readily assents to this request, and Garnier used the title on his carriage clocks until about 1835, and in his written correspondences until at least 1844. Around 1835, Garnier makes use of the title 'Horloger (or Her) du Roi', which in turn is supplanted by 'Her De La Marine' after the 1848 revolution and the deposition of the monarchy.From 1830 Garnier began to make affordable, semi-massed produced carriage clocks (pendules de voyage) and could be said to have established the Parisian carriage clock industry. He was able to do this by combining a basic, easily made design with his patented 1830 escapement. This escapement, alternatively called the 'chaff-cutter', 'Gautier', or 'chopper', could be machine made, drastically reducing the time and cost of making. It is a type of frictional rest escapement, comprising of pallets in the form of a single roller (a circle with about 4/9ths of its circumference cut off at an angle and the sides ground) made of either jewel or hardened steel, the latter being more common with repaired rollers. The escape wheel is in fact two separate wheels mounted on the same arbor a specific distance apart. The wheel teeth are bevelled along the edge that interacts with the roller.The combination of basic shape and cost saving escapement meant that pendules de voyage, having previously been economically unattainable to the vast majority of people, were reduced in cost to the price of a standard mantle clock.Despite being affordable, these clocks were not poorly made, exhibiting very fine diameter pivots (even by French clock standards) and usually having rack striking, which was a desirable feature, being much easier to set than count wheel striking. The clocks would also only strike the half hour and the hour, which saved on cost compared with the more common repeaters. In the early clocks, engine turned dials, one-piece cases, and barrel stopwork were all very common. With clocks made between 1830-1840, it was common to fit a coloured-paper covered block of wood into the base of the hollow casting.In addition to carriage clocks, in 1847 Garnier presented a novel master clock and slave clock system, and at least one chronometer has been assigned to him. He also pursed scientific instrument making, his obituary eventually being published in the Society for Civil Engineers bulletin in 1869.His son, also Paul Garnier, was born in 1834 and continued the business after his father's death. Additionally, he submitted drawings and models of his father's design for a free-sprung chronometer escapement to the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers and the Revue Chronométrique. Before his death in 1916, he donated his family's collection of watches and clocks (the former including examples from the 16th century) to the Musée des Arts et Métiers.R. A. E.

A good early engraved one-piece cased repeating carriage clock with duplex escapement, day, date, alarm and quarter repeatJ.B. Beguin, ParisThe elaborately engraved case with shaped and facetted handle above the large, glazed inspection panel over three bevelled glass panels, the rear door solid and sliding upwards in a pair of runners to reveal the winding and setting squares, raised on a plinth base with shaped corners and decorated all-over with finely engraved borders of stylised wheatears, tied ribbons and feather banding. The main dial with Roman hours and blued steel trefoil hands within a minute track, signed below VI and set above three subsidiaries for alarm, day (in English) and date, all with matching trefoil hands and set within an engraved foliate scroll mask. The spring barrel movement with gilt platform for the brass three-arm balance with compensating screws and jewelled duplex escapement, rack striking the hours and quarters on two bells and hammers. The strike/silent lever is set on the backplate with the engraved options 'Striking' or 'Stillness'. Ticking, striking both the hours and the quarters. Operational repeat, and alarm trains, together with a double ended key.Footnotes:This clock, or an identical one, is referenced in Carriage Clocks Their History and Development by Charles Allix and Peter Bonnert on page 432. Extant examples survive, not only of two other carriage clocks by Beguin, but also a handful of mantle clocks, including a skeleton clock.In 1870, he was recorded as working on the Rue Faubourg Saint-Antoine in Paris.The duplex escapement is usually seen in early Carriage clocks, being supplanted later by the lever and cylinder. However, in the early years of French carriage clock manufacturing the duplex escapement was regarded as the epitome of quality.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A 19th century porcelain cased mantle clock, the rear of the movement stamped Vulliamy London and numbered 1598, the chapter ring also stamped and housed in a good quality porcelain floral encrusted case. Height 29 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The pendulum bob is numbered, this is not entirely clear, but it looks to be 1589 or 589. We have not had this movement running so we cannot confirm if it is in working order. The glass to the front of the case is missing. There is wear and dirt to the brass face. The overall porcelain body is structurally intact but there are very small losses to some of the flowers and other smaller parts of the porcelain, alongside that there is also some wear to the gilt and other areas of decoration. Also apparent are hairline cracks in the two back legs. On examining the movement, it is clear that the suspension has dropped which means the pendulum is hanging lower, there is some sort of repair with Sellotape and a paperclip. We can confirm the number on the pendulum and the back of the clock are the same, so they do belong to each other.

There does not appear to be any water damage to the top of the case but there is a small piece of veneer missing at the front edge. The chrome plated door surround is tarnished and has lost some of the original finish. The door closes as it should, as does the rear door. The movement appears to be complete.
