c.1885 French Engraved Gilt-Bronze Miniature Enamel Paneled Carriage Clock, signed Leroy & Fils, Paris, No. 13140, Made by Henri Jacot, 3904. A very high-quality French gilt-bronze gorge-cased miniature carriage clock with enamel panels. The miniature case has particularly fine and crisp engraving throughout all on a finely chased background. The exceptionally detailed Japanesque-style enamel panels, complete with silver and gold gilt, are on a cream colored background and are particularly rare because they are enamel panels meant to resemble the more common porcelain panels of the same design. The enamel dial has stylized Roman numerals, steel spade hands and has the center decorated with chrysanthemum flowers. There are beveled glasses on three sides, the front, top and back door. The eight-day time only movement with original lever balance platform is signed and numbered by the retailer, Leroy & Fils, Paris No. 13140. It is also has the stamp of the actual maker, Henri Jacot, in the lower right corner of the backplate and is numbered, 3904, on both the movement and the case. Henri Jacot is listed in several places in Carriage Clocks by Charles Alex as a maker responsible for the production of superb carriage clocks. The history of L Leroy and Fils is also discussed and interestingly he mentions another clock made by Jacot with Leroy and Fils on the dial. Height 3in handle down. 3.75in handle up.
