A very rare late-nineteenth century giant French Limoges paneled gilt and silvered-bronze grand-sonnerie carriage clock retailed by Tiffany & Co., New York. The massive two-tone case is a variation of the Anglaise Riche style and has a flared and stepped base, dentil work, a hinged fluted handle, detached fluted columns with Corinthian capitals, well-cast finials, Limoges panels to the front and sides, a viewing glass for the balance and four bold stylized toupie feet.
