Le Roy & Fils, Palais Royale, Paris. A late 19th century French hour repeating miniature carriage alarum clock, with corinthian column case, circular silvered dials, 5cm wide, 4.5cm deep, 9.25cm high
£800-1,200
Condition:
Case in good bright condition, but for one or two small oxidisation spots, and minute nicking at the edges, movement runs but stops, dials slightly oxidised, repeat mechanism not working. It appears the clock strikes on a bell in the base. There is a small secondary barrel top left presumably for the striking mechanism.
