The trademark stamped to the lower left hand corner of the backplate of the current lot (letter B within a circle) is noted in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as possibly being for Jules Brunelot although no evidence has been found to confirm this.The porcelain panels of the present timepiece are a little unusual in that they appear to have been executed to resemble cloisonné enamel, with symmetrical Arabesque designs incorporating colours divided within fine gilt line and foliate scroll detailed edging which is most likely intended to represent the brass cell structure of cloisonné enamel work.
