Paul Garnier (1801-1869) was mentored by Antide Janvier (1751-1835) and set up his own business in Rue Taitbout in 1825.
In the Paris Exhibition of 1839 he exhibited a table regulator similar to the present example, an engraving of which was published in the exhibition brochure and reproduced again by Charles Allix, 'Paul Garnier Revisited', Antiquarian Horology, Spring, 1993, p. 418, fig. 8. In the same article is also illustrated a very similar pendulum to the example in the present lot; described as patented in 1819 by Franz Joseph Mahler (1795-1845). A similar undated example sold at Sotheby's, London, 2 June 1995, lot 387.
