C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage clock, Art Nouveau with female caryatids, time, strike, repeat & alarm in excellent original condition. The small porcelain alarm dial is mounted to the back plate of the movement, accessible through the cast floral rear door. Although there are some wear spots, the original yellow gilding is in nice condition. The main case has been cast as one piece, and the crown and 4 female heads are screwed on. The porcelain dial is painted in a fashion to simulate a 13 piece dial, and is excellent; the Roman numerals are blue and the 5 minute markers are in black; gilt hands are nicely fretted and chased. The original lever & platform are intact and the movement is clean. These Nouveau style carriages are very desirable. Height with handle up = 8.7 inches
