French Japanesque Carriage Clock with Chiming Movement

• Movement - The technical name for the workings of a clock or watch, and does not include the dial or case.
• Japanesque - Japanesque decoration refers to a style of art and design that incorporates Japanese motifs and elements into decorative objects, furniture, and architecture. This style emerged in the late 19th century and was popularized in the early 20th century as Western countries began to trade with and learn more about Japanese culture.
  
  It is characterised by its use of traditional Japanese elements such as bamboo, cherry blossoms, koi fish, and landscapes. It often features a minimalistic and refined aesthetic, with clean lines and simple forms. Some common materials used in Japanesque decoration include wood, bamboo, lacquer, and ceramics.
  
  Japanesque decoration had a significant influence on Western art and design, particularly in the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements. It also played a role in the development of Japonism, a movement in Western art and design that was inspired by Japanese art and culture. Today, Japanesque decoration continues to be used in a variety of contexts, from interior design and architecture to fashion and graphic design.
