FRENCH REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK, SIGNED "HENRI JACOT" , CIRCA 1890
A fine French Carriage clock in the original travel case.
The movement is a hour and half hour strike w/ repeat. The back plate has the logo for
"Henri Jacot", A fine maker who is very sought after.
The case is exceptionally nice with fluted Corinthian Columns w/a Doucine style frame. The dial is enamel , in fine condition with a gilded mask surrounding it.
The clock is all original, including the jeweled lever escapement and in fine working order with a good finish on the case.
When you buy a carriage clock, condition and originality are very important. Repairs and restoration on clocks could many times exceed the value and also make them unsalable when escapements or other parts have been altered. I never offer clocks that are not all original and are always in working order.
A GOOD COLLECTIBLE CLOCK W/ THE ORIGINAL TRAVEL CASE BY A GREAT MAKER.
