A FINE FRENCH GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH ALARML. Leroy et Cie, Paris, circa 1900The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and sounding the hour every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by spring split bimetallic balance, the left hand end of the backplate engraved L. LEROY 7 Cie, 7 B'd DE LA MADELEINE. PARIS and the centre numbered 16630 over further stamped number 34494 to lower left hand corner, the circular cream enamel Arabic numeral dial indistinctly inscribed L. LEROY & Cie, Horlogers de la..., Paris to centre and with blued steel spade hands set within a frosted rectangular gilt mask incorporating conforming alarm setting dial to lower margin and with canted surround, the case with hinged reeded carrying handle to the generous caddy-moulded top incorporating projections at the angles for the reeded three-quarter column corner uprights, on stepped cavetto moulded skirt base with concave feet, the underside with three-position strike selection switch labelled SONNERIE/SILENCE/G'DE SONNERIE, with original red velvet lined tooled morocco leather covered outer carrying case applied with pierced silver monogram F. M. V. to lid.16.5cm (6.5ins) high excluding handle, 11.5cm (4.5ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep; the leather case 18cm (7ins) high. Provenance: Purchased new by Florence Mary Venables in London around 1900 thence by family descent to the present owner. The firm of 'Leroy et Cie' can be traced back to 1785 when the business was founded by Basille Charles Le Roy at 60 Galerie de Pierre, Palais Royal, Paris. During the Revolutionary years the firm relocated to 88 Rue de L'Egalite before finally settling at Galerie Montpensier, 13 and 15 Palais Royal. In 1828 Basille Charles died leaving the business to his son, Charles-Louis, who continued producing clocks signed 'Le Roy & Fils' until 1845 when the firm was sold to his former employee Casimir Halley Desfontaines; who in turn was succeeded by his son M. George Halley Desfontaines in 1883. In 1888 M. George Halley died leaving the business to his brother Jules Halley who then took-in as a partner Louis Leroy (apparently no relation to the founders of the firm). In 1899 the firm left Palais Royal and moved to Boulevard de La Madeleine where it continued trading in the hands of various successors until well into the 20th century. The current lot would have been made very shortly after L. Leroy et Cie's relocation to 7 Boulevard de La Madeleine in 1899. The robust but restrained architectural style of the case is very much in the 'English' fashion hence it is likely that the clock was made for retail in London; where it was indeed purchased new by the great grandmother of the present owner. Another clock by Leroy et Cie (number 19484) in a closely related case is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS on page 218 (Figure 13-19).  

A FINE FRENCH ENGRAVED GILT BRASS GORGE CASED GRANDE SONNERIE STRIKING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKAttributed Henri Jacot, Paris for retail by J. Klaftenberger, London, circa 1865The eight-day two train movement configured with ting-tang striking for the quarters on a graduated pair of bells and the hour sounding at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with regulation by gilt platform lever escapement with sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the smaller bell, the inside of the frontplate stamped 670 and the backplate stamped with further number 765 to lower left and engraved J. KLAFTENBERGER, 157 REGENT STREET to bottom margin, the dial with fine foliate scroll engraved rectangular mask enclosing circular white enamel Roman numeral circular insert inscribed J. KLAFTENBERGER, 157 REGENT STREET to centre and with blued steel moon hands over conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the engraved gilt brass gorge case with hinged carrying handle over rectangular top glass within repeating swag border over foliate panel engraved panel bands to top mouldings and channel-moulded uprights, the ogee-outline base further engraved with panels of fruiting foliate and swags, the underside with CLOCK/SILENT/QUARTERS strike selection lever.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, rectangular top glass set into an engraved surround, panel decoration to the upper and lower rails, and the design of engraving to the dial mask can be directly compared to an example by Henri Jacot illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other TRAVELLING CLOCKS an 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.The highly regarded retailer of clocks, watches silverware and objet d'art, Charles Ignaz Klaftenberger, was born in 1802 and entered into partnership with D.F. Aubert in 1835. The firm were appointed watchmakers to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and traded from retail premises at 157 Regent Street, London. They exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition and the partnership appears to have lasted until 1863 after which it would appear that Klaftenberger worked alone until 1881. Klaftenberger only sold the finest carriage clocks supplied by the best makers such as Drocourt and Jacot, with the current lot being a fine example almost certainly supplied by the latter.Condition Report: The movement is in clean fully working condition with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements (including the strike selection switch to the underside which works correctly). Indeed the only (very minor) fault is that the alarm hand does not release the mechanism at the correct time (releases when set around three-hours ahead of the time on the dial). The dial is in fine condition with no visible faults to the enamel of the principal dial; the subsidiary alarm dial has a hairline crack through the centre. The mask is in good condition with only slight overall 'mellowing' to the gilding. The case is also in fine condition with no visible chips to any of the glasses and only slight mellowing/discolouration to the gilding in places.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH GILT BRASS GORGE CASED REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH SUBSIDIARY SECONDSLeRoy and Fils incorporating escapement by J. Soldano, Paris and London, late 19th centuryThe eight-day two train gong striking movement stamped 15687 to the inside lower edge of the frontplate and with silvered platform lever escapement incorporating split bimetallic balance and stamped with JS cartouche trademark opposing No. 728, the backplate also numbered 728 to centre and with additional number 4756 to lower left hand corner, the dial with engine-turned rectangular gilt mask enclosing circular white enamel Roman numeral circular insert with small subsidiary seconds dial at twelve o'clock blued steel spade hands, the lower margin with shaped enamel-backed recess inscribed LEROY & FILS, 211 REGENT ST., LONDON, the gilt gorge case with hinged carrying handle over glazed top glass enclosing engine-turned mask with oval aperture for the escapement, with channel moulded uprights and ogee-moulded base; with a red leather covered protective travelling case.The clock 14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep.  The firm of 'Le Roy and Fils' can be traced back to 1785 when the business was founded by Basille Charles Le Roy at 60 Galerie de Pierre, Palais Royal, Paris. During the Revolutionary years the firm relocated to 88 Rue de L'Egalite before finally settling at Galerie Montpensier, 13 and 15 Palais Royal. In 1828 Basille Charles died leaving the business to his son, Charles-Louis, who continued producing clocks signed 'Le Roy & Fils' until 1845 when the firm was sold to his former employee Casimir Halley Desfontaines; who in turn was succeeded by his son M. George Halley Desfontaines in 1883. In 1888 M. George Halley died leaving the business to his brother Jules Halley who then took-in as a partner Louis Leroy (apparently no relation to the founders of the firm). In 1899 the firm left Palais Royal and moved to Boulevard de La Madeleine where it continued trading in the hands of various successors until well into the 20th century. Such was the success of Le Roy and Fils that they were able to open branches in London, firstly at 211 Regent Street from mid 1800s to before 1885 when they moved to 57 Bond Street.The current lot is fitted with an escapement stamped with the 'J S' cartouche trademark for Joseph Soldano who is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCK, Their history and development as a maker of fine carriage clocks. Soldano was awarded medals at the Paris Exhibitions of 1855 & 1878 where it was noted that 'The escapements appeared to us to have been treated with particular care.' Allix notes that their escapements probably made in Geneva, Switzerland and were often stamped 'Soldano' or 'J S'. Although Joseph Soldano made carriage clocks outright (including highly decorated models) he apparently supplied other makers with his high quality escapements, this would certainly appear to be the case with the current lot. Condition Report: The movement is in clean fully working condition with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial is in fine condition with no visible faults to the enamel of the principal dial however the integral subsidiary seconds dial has a small chip at the centre. The mask is in good condition with only one or two very slight spots of discolouration and very slight overall 'mellowing' to the gilding. The case is also in fine condition with no visible chips to any of the glasses and negligeable mellowing/discolouration to the gilding. The travelling case is in good condition with only minor wear/blemishes to the covering; the carrying strap is snapped at one end.Clock has a winding key also stamped 728. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE GILT BRASS CARIATIDES CASED GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK Probably by Henri Jacot, Paris, late 19th centuryIn part dismantled condition, the eight-day two train movement configured with ting-tang striking for the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and the hour sounding at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with regulation by platform lever escapement with sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the inside of the frontplate stamped 439, J.. and the backplate stamped with repeat serial number 439, the engine-turned gilt brass dial with fine foliate scroll engraved rectangular mask enclosing Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised rosette centre and blued steel moon hands over conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-glazed frosted gilt break-arch cariatides case with hinged reeded carrying handle over thick curved top glass to pediment inset with a cast laurel wreath to tympanum incorporating repeat button, The cornice with reeded band over, Classical female term applied canted angles, on conforming reeded band decorated ogee moulded base with stepped skirt and squat pad feet, the underside with Grande Sonnerie/Silence/Petite Sonnerie selection lever, (part disassembled with under-dial work, escapement and all other components normally fitted to the exterior of the plates presently off the movement and bagged).18cm (7.25ins) high excluding handle; 11.5cm (4,5ins) wide; 10cm (4ins) deep. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a horologist. The current lot can be directly compared to an example attributed to Henri Jacot illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 107 (Fig. 6-44) whilst another, also by Jacot and in a case of identical form, is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development page 172 (Plate VII/24) as well as on the rear of the dust jacket. 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 Henri 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: As catalogued the current clock is being offered in part-disassembled condition hence will require the attention of a suitably experienced clockmaker/horologist to re-assemble and make the necessary adjustments before the clock can be appreciated in working condition. We understand that the clock was being re-assembled after being dismantled for a clean/service when the previous owner (a skilled horologist) passed away and has been stored for a few years in this condition. Although we can offer no assurances it would appear that the trains are in good condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements and the escapement appears to be in sound condition and most likely original to the clock. All the under-dial work has been part categorised and bagged-up and cursory checking through would suggest that all significant components are present and in serviceable condition however as we are not trained horologists we cannot offer any assurances that this is the situation. The dial is in fine condition with only very minimal build-up of light surface dirt/grime. The case appears complete and intact with gilding exhibition only light wear/discolouration to high spots; all glasses appear free from visible damage with the exception of the left hand side panel which has slight chipping to one corner.There is no winding key present with the current lot. Condition Report Disclaimer
