About the Item

A fully all over engraved gilt bronze carriage clock geneve circa 1870 and retailed in London by Aubert & Klaftenberger. The gorge case of characteristic design, profusely engraved to all sides with foliate scrolls and flowers on a matted ground, the signed Roman enamel dial with moon hands and subsidiary alarm within a gilt mask with conforming decoration, the signed two train spring barrel movement with lever platform escapement, striking the hour and half hour on a bell. 14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep. History: Aubert & Klaftenberger. The highly regarded retailer of clocks, watches silverware and objet d'art, Charles Ignaz Klaftenberger, was born in 1802 and entered into partnership with D.F. Aubert in 1835. The firm were appointed watchmakers to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and traded from retail premises at 157 Regent Street, London. They exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition and the partnership appears to have lasted until 1863 after which it would appear that Klaftenberger worked alone until 1881. Klaftenberger only sold the finest carriage clocks supplied by the best makers such as Drocourt and Jacot.
