Footnotes
Paul Garnier (1801-1869) was renowned for his carriage clocks. He received silver medals in the Paris Exhibition of 1827, 1834 and 1839, as well as gold medals in 1844 and 1849.
The travelling case is engraved with an heraldic device of a chained bear and the initials T.W., presumably the first owner.
