ARSENE MARGAINE, PARIS. A LATE 19TH CENTURY FRENCH GORGE CASED BRONZE AND MIXED METAL REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK having a gilt case with oriental style panels depicting birds and canes amongst foliage, enclosing a white enamel dial signed Bigelow, Kennard & Co, Boston, fronting an eight-day spring-driven movement with compensated lever escapement striking and repeating on a gong.
18cm high including the handle.
The case is in good condition, with no loss of gilding. There is a small chip on the back glass panel at the bottom corner; no other damage. The bronze panels are in good, undamaged condition. The clock only ticks for a few seconds but is very dry and will require a service. The striking and repeating mechanism works correctly and in sequence.
