An attractive small wooden cased carriage clock by this eminent maker. The case with rosewood veneers and maplewood inlay has a viewing panel in the top below a nicely cast carrying handle. The sides and the back of the case are solid and there is a lift out rear door. The case has light wood, floral and foliate inlay and profuse stringing.

The round silvered brass dial has Roman numerals and is signed for the maker, ‘Paul Garnier Hge.r Du Roi, Paris.’ It has blued steel moon hands, a brass alarm hand and an opening glazed brass bezel giving access to the front winding for the two trains and for the alarm and alarm handset.

The eight day bell striking movement with Garnier’s own chaffcutter escapement strikes the hours and half hours on a bell via a count wheel mounted on the backplate. The backplate is signed ‘P. G. Brevet’ and numbered 735. The movement is round plated, as was the case with most of Garnier’s wooden cased carriage clocks.
