A FRENCH BRASS CARRIAGE CLOCK ATTRIBUTED TO THE COUAILLET FAMILY, SAINT-NICHOLAS-D' ALIERMONT, CIRCA 1910 The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the backplate stamped with a direction of wind arrow to centre beneath MADE IN FRANCE to upper margin, the rectangular cream enamel dial with red Roman hour numerals to chapter ring, pierced blued steel hands and polychrome floral swag decoration to upper and lower margins, the bevel-glazed case with hinged filigree baton carrying handle and rectangular glass to top, over plain frieze and repeating honey bee relief decorated corner uprights, the rear with pin-hinged glazed door, on caddy moulded skirt base; with a French gilt brass obis cased carriage timepiece, unsigned, circa 1900, the eight-day single train movement with platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the dial with cream Arabic numeral chapter ring within a foliate scroll 'filigree' overlaid gilt mask, the case with hinged handle over cavetto cornice mouldings and caddy moulded corner uprights, with conforming pierced gilt panels set behind the side glasses and pin-hinged door to rear, on cavetto moulded skirt base, (2). The first clock 14cm (5.5ins) high with handle down, 8.5cm (3.375ins) wide, 7.5cm (3ins) deep; the second 11.5cm (4.5ins) high with handle down, 7.5cm (3ins) wide, 6.3cm (2.5ins) deep. The hand-setting arrow stamp to the movement backplate of the first item in the current lot conforms to that used by the Couaillet family as illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development on page 435. Couaillet Freres are discussed by Leigh Extence in his article The Carriage Clock Makers of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont published in National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors Bulletin, 2020; where they are described as being one of the most prolific of the carriage clock makers of carriage clocks operating from the horological town of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont (near Dieppe) during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1885 Armand Couaillet was employed by the prominent maker Albert Villon, but in 1892 he and his brothers Denis and Ernest set up their own workshops in the centre of the town as Couaillet freres. They increased the size of the concern when buying the house and workshops of Delépine-Barrois across the road in 1912.
