A fine miniature oval carriage clock by one of the finest of the French Victorian maker's, Henri Jacot. The eight day movement has a platform lever escapement, with the backplate stamped with the trademark of Jacot, a parrot on a perch with either side the initials 'H.J.', along with his serial number '14079' which is repeated to the underside of the beautifully constructed gilded brass case. The white enamel dial has a typical Jacot inner ring, black Roman hour numerals and blued steel spade hands. With original numbered key and box.
* Henri Jacot was one of the most well known and best maker's of carriage clocks in the Victorian period with an address at 31, Rue de Montmorency, Paris. The first Henri Jacot died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew also Henri. They won many medals at exhibitions in both Paris and London including the Gold medal in 1900.
