C.1900, French Carriage Clock, Angle Riche Case with Corinthian columns and in very good original condition. A similar example of this case may be found in Terwillger's book titled A Century of Fine Carriage Clocks, pages 34-35. Our example has a deep blue field which really shows off the white, red and light blue champlevé enamel work.; the original gilding on the brass is mostly worn so the bright yellow to offset the pattern is absent. The cream colored porcelain dial has a hairline at 9 that is only seen on close inspection, & no chips; it is surrounded by a finely pierced & engraved floral mask that retains its bright yellow gilding. This is a clock of high quality, in great condition. 8-day, time, strike, repeat movement runs but would benefit from service. Height 8 inches
