Elegant in design and practical in use, this clock combines the clean architectural outline collectors look for with a reliable eight-day movement and a fully working striking mechanism.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe case is fitted with thick bevelled glass panels to all four sides, a bevelled top inspection glass and a hinged faceted carrying handle. The white enamel dial is set with Roman numerals, an outer minute track and blued steel spade hands, all behind bevelled glass. The movement is a twin-train eight-day movement striking the hours on a gong. At the time of listing, the clock is running correctly, keeping good time and striking as it should.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe backplate is stamped MADE IN PARIS and bears the Henri Jacot \"H\u0026amp;J\" parrot trademark, numbered 16540. These details firmly identify the clock as a good Paris example by one of the best-known makers of the period.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe original fitted travelling case is included. It is covered in brown leather with blind-tooled decoration, has its carrying strap and a glazed hinged front flap allowing the dial to be read without removing the clock. The interior is lined in deep purple silk velvet. The case shows age-related rubbing and losses to the corners and top, but remains structurally sound.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA refined and very collectable antique carriage clock by one of the leading Paris makers, complete with its original case and key, ready to display and enjoy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n Height without handle: 11 cm.
