Leroy & Fils , Drocourt , circa 1870
A good early example of a Gorge case Carriage clock , Alarm with an enamel dial by the very well known clockmakers and retailers of exceptional quality , Leroy & fils who were in business at 13-15 Palais Royal in Paris , France . The Carriage Clock is engraved with the retailers name Leroy & Fils ( see close up photos ) and with the Drocourt stamp. Pierre & Alfred Drocourt were France's leading makers from the middle of the 19th century through to the late Victorian era. They had a factory in Saint-Nicolas-d'Ailermont, an important town for carriage clock manufacturing. The majority of their clocks would go to their Paris premises and be dispersed amongst the world's top retailers of that time. They exhibited at the major exhibitions winning a 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.
