French Porcelain Panelled Carriage Clock by Brunelot, circa 1870

JH73

7 inches with the handle, or 5.25 inches without.

This fine florally engraved timepiece has an earlier style of corniche case, with three Sevres porcelain panels each which have a boarder of ‘beau bleu’ and pictures which are set within jewelled gilt boarders.

The dial depicts a scene of a couple on a bridge with flowers and birds above with each panel depicting a different scene. The gilt hands are set upon the dial stylised with Roman numerals.

The movement strikes and repeats on a gong.
