About the Item
Inv. #: f302
Case:
The red painted, silvered and gilt-bronze case stands on a black Belgian marble base and depicts an early 20th century horse drawn steam powered fire engine. It has ‘D.H. Depose’ engraved on a silvered plaque and has a hinged silvered door to access the winding arbor for the animation movement.
Dial:
The painted silvered chapter-ring dial has Roman numerals for the hours, a gilt-bronze center, Arabic 5-minute marks and steel-cut hands. The painted silvered chapter-ring barometer dial is in French, has a gilt center and dual indicator hands.
Movement:
The time-only movement is wound through the front, has a balance wheel escapement and is adjusted for fast/slow out the dial.
The animation movement is housed below, is wound out the back and drives the large wheel and three piston linkages for approximately 1.5 hours.

This is an exceptionally rare example from the industrial series created by Guilmet that celebrated the industrial revolution and all the machines developed during that era.
