A rare gilt brass mid-sized carriage timepiece with bottom wind, Le Roy and Fils, Paris, late 19th century, The eight-day single train movement with silvered platform lever escapement and wound via contrate wheel connected to a large fixed key engraved LE ROY & FILS, PATENT 9501 fitted within the underside of the case, the backplate stamped 7298 and with rectangular white Roman numeral enamel dial with blued steel trident hour hand and signed LE ROY & FILS, 57 New Bond Street, MADE IN FRANCE, Palais-Royal, PARIS to lower margin, the bevel glazed gilt brass corniche type case with hinged carrying handle, 12.5cm (5ins) high excluding handle. The firm of ‘Le Roy & 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. The keyless bottom-wind system fitted to the current lot is described in Allix, Charles CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development pages 219-21.
