Henri Jacot, Paris, a 19th century French brass carriage clock, white enamel dial, the signed movement striking the hour and half on a gong, serial number 11899, 13 x 9 x 8cm.
Henri and his nephew, also Henri Jacot, worked in Paris from 1822 to 1900. They were famous carriage clock makers, "probably the best of the Paris producers of carriage clocks towards the end of the 19th century." Henri Snr died in 1868; his nephew Henri Jacot became his successor in the business. The company closed in 1920.
Overall condition is good for its age, the movement works but not guaranteed, the striking does not work, full wound, no key
