A rare French petit sonnerie striking carriage clock with two-plane `chaffcutter` escapement and push-button repeat 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 and quarters on a pair of graduated bells mounted to the backplate signed PAUL GARNIER, H`LR DU ROI PARIS towards upper left hand corner and numbered 1183 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 repeat button mounted within the top glass panel and the rear sliding upwards for winding, on cavetto moulded skirt base with inset rounded angles, (strike train with faults), 14.5cm (5.75ins) high excluding handle; with original leather covered outer travelling case. 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). This clock is rare in that it was made with petit-sonnerie striking and has particularly early use of repeat button set into the top glass of the case.
A Fine gilt brass carriage clock with push-button repeat in elaborate rococo chased case Jules, Paris, mid 19th century The eight-day bell striking movement with platform lever escapement incorporating plain split bimetallic balance with wedge shaped weights and helical balance spring, the backplate stamped JULES, PARIS to lower margin, the rectangular white Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands and bearing repeat signature to lower margin, the elaborate case with hinged leafy scroll handle above ogee shaped top applied with crest modelled as a pair of reclining putti flanking a globe above generous scrolling angles applied with further putti and terminating in an elaborate scallop shell centred scroll panel to apron flanked by supports finely modelled as a mermaid and her companion, the sides with conforming scrolls bordering glazed insert, the rear matching the front but with elaborated scroll cast door with hinged clasp, 19cm (7.5ins) high; with a maroon leather covered outer travelling case. An identical escapement to the one fitted to the current lot is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their History and Development on page 73 (plate II/47). Allix/Bonnert do not list working dates for Jules however similarities between this escapement and those used by Bolivier are noted suggesting a working date of around 1840.
A rare brass travelling clock case and dial Unsigned, second half of the 18th century, the movement later The current French eight-day backwound movement with platform cylinder escapement, the original 2.25 inch brass break-arch dial with concentric panel and rosette engraved centre within an applied Roman numeral chapter ring with arcaded minute ring and Arabic five minutes, the spandrels with conforming engraved borders beneath arch with applied convex boss decorated with a basket of flowers, the brass break-arch case with hinged carrying handle to the foliate pierced and engraved silk-backed arched top above raised rectangular glazed side panels, on small bun feet, 10.5cm (4.25ins) high. The style of the dial engraving and chapter ring of the current lot suggests that the dial and case are of probable German or Austrian manufacture, and was probably made with a short duration fusee movement with alarm. A similar travelling clock resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (accession number 29.52.18, .19).

Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London 1756-71. From the evidence of his surviving work, which includes several quarter chiming and musical longcase clocks as well as a miniature grande-sonnerie longcase clock, he was a fine and inventive maker. The current lot was probably designed as a travelling timepiece (a spring-driven alternative to a miniature weight-driven lantern alarm timepiece), and was probably originally supplied with a fitted wooden case for protection whilst in transit.
