A Gorge cased timepiece carriage clock by the well-known maker Henri Jacot. The eight-day duration movement has a silvered platform lever escapement whilst the white enamel dial has black Roman numerals, blued steel 'spade' hands and typical Jacot inner ring. The backplate is stamped with the Jacot trademark, a parrot (Jacot) on a perch, and the serial number `10577`, which is repeated on the bottom of the case. The inside of the backplate and the dialplate are both stamped with the 'secret' Jacot trademark, being an oval with the wording `H. Jacot` in the centre and the various medals awarded to the outside, the last one being 1889.
