Lot n° 71
A rare early 19th century brass inlaid mahogany striking mantel clock with Certificate, sold on the '5th day of Complémentaire an 10' (22nd September 1802) to Madamme de Praslin for 600 francs
Breguet, number 1203
The rectangular mahogany case inlaid with eight panels of brass stringing, raised on a plinth base and four finely cast and chased ormolu lions paw feet.
The 4-inch white enamel dial with minute track framing the Arabic numerals, signed above VI Breguet and set with typical blued steel Breguet hands within a cast ormolu bezel, opening which reveals the single winding square.
The movement accessed by lifting the rear panel, both plates shaped as an inverted arch and united by four turned pillars, the large spring barrel set in the lower curved section and driving both the going train and the strike train, the former with its intermediate wheel set on a separate bridge mounted on the backplate, with anchor type escapement and silk-suspended pendulum held by a sprung bar and a hinged locking arm, the hours and half-hours struck on the bell. Ticking and striking. 28cms (11ins) high
