A Champlevé Repeating Carriage Clock be E.Maurice & Cie Paris

A charming repeating carriage clock in champleve enamel case by one of the great Parisian makers. This eight day two train movement with an English lever platform escapement striking on a blued steel gong with silvered Arabic dial and gilded mask is housed in a gilded and enamelled case of larger than average proportions.

The eau de nil and lilac floral and foliate enamel work is of the highest quality in an appealing and surprisingly contemporary colour palette.

Made by E.MAurice & Cie in Paris in around 1890, this clock was produced by one of the great carriage clock makers of the 19th century. With workshops at 75 Rue Charlot Paris, E.MAurice produced some of the finest enamel clocks of the period of which this is fine example. Typical of the makers’ clocks is also the silver chapter with recessed plaques for the black arabic numerals.

This Clock is shown unserviced, but will be fully overhauled and comes with our 2 year guarantee at point of sale.
