* Pierre & Alfred Drocourt were one of the top maker's of carriage clocks in the mid to late Victorian period, having a factory at Saint-Nicolas-d'Ailermont, the most important town for carriage clock manufacture at the time, as well as premises in Paris at Rue Debelleyme 28 and Rue de Limoges. They made superb carriage clocks which were mainly decorative and were awarded numerous medals at exhibitions, such as the Bronze Medal at Paris 1867, the Silver at Paris 1878 and the gold at Paris in 1889. The son, Alfred, succeeded his father Pierre sometime in the 1870's.

I like the original box you just know your going to find something nice in it . It has two locks on each side and a brass handle. A 150 years old box impressive in its own right ,

One of the finest engraved carriage clocks i have seen . made by one of the finest makers and its original carrying box very nice to cast ones eyes at, if you have the pleasure of seeing her when she is serviced and gilded then lucky you because i cant see the first person being able to turn her down, will post some pictures when finished.
