Fine French repeating and enamel panelled carriage clock with alarm, the movement striking on two gongs and the back plate fitted with an enamel alarm dial and stamped no. 1248, the 2.25" gilded chapter ring within an enamel panel painted and gilded with flowers and musical trophies on a burgundy ground the sides finely painted with head and shoulder profile portraits of young ladies, within a breakfront gorge style case with silvered barley twist columns and Corinthian capitals, surmounted by a bevelled glazed rectangular escapement window and carrying handle, 8" high
General condition appears reasonable but there is some damage to the bottom left hand corner of the enamel panel on the right hand side of the clock and more minor imperfection to the other enamel panels, some minor pitting to the gilded dial and minor rubbed gilding all over, the movement ticks freely but there needs to be some adjustment to the repeat which does not always line up with the hours, the alarm functions well, see images for guidance, personal viewing always advised where possible.
