French Early Engraved Gilt Brass Carriage Clock

This early French carriage clock has a finely engraved gilt brass Gorge case. It also features an engraved back plate with a sliding dust cover over the winding holes.

The name “Gorge” as in a steep valley or canyon, refers to the hollow, intricate moldings. More intricate parts meant more laborious and expensive production. Therefore, better carriage clockmakers, such as Drocourt in this case, used the Gorge case. It is unlikely to find an inferior clock movement in a Gorge case.

The two porcelain dials have both Roman and Arabic numerals, respectively. The dials also have an engraved dial mask.

The 8-day movement has the original lever escapement. Furthermore, it features an hourly strike on a tuned gong with a repeat at will and alarm. The clock comes with a one-year warranty.

7″ High x 3-3/4″ Wide x 3-1/4″ Deep

Circa 1850
