Description / Expertise
D397. This relatively large and substantial anglaise riche cased carriage clock, which strikes the hours and halves on a gong, is numbered to the bottom of the back-plate 377. It features three particularly fine porcelain panels with herons alongside a lake, each set against a dark maroon background.
There are five birds on the dial, four standing in the water and a fifth one flying overhead. The decorative chapter ring has arabic numerals, each surrounded by a gold ring, with a further gilt ring around the entire chapter ring. To the centre is gilt decoration. The side panels each feature two herons amongst foliage.
The travelling box, also numbered 377, is in a very fine state of preservation; it even has its original front slide and strap.
Height with/without handle.7.75"/ 6" (19.8/15.5cms.)
