D234. Henry Jacot No 17510. A particularly good quality gilded corniche cased carriage clock by this very fine maker. Circa 1890.

The clock comes with its original leather carrying case which is also numbered 17510.

Henri Jacot who worked at 31 Rue Montmorency, Paris, exhibited in the Paris Exposition for the first time in 1855 and in London some seven years later. He died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew, also a Henri Jacot. Their trademark is a parrot together with their initials HJ. Their carriage clocks were always of the highest quality.
