AN ATTRACTIVE GORGE CASED GRANDE SONNERIE
CARRIAGE CLOCK. CIRCA 1875.

A very nice gorge cased grande sonnerie carriage clock. The case, of typical form, has an unusual silvered and engine turned mask to the top glass, thereby showing the escapement through a cut out oval.

The white enamel dial has Roman numerals with outside Arabic numerals and there is an alarm dial below six o’clock. The clock has nicely shaped trefoil blued steel hands.
