A FINE FRENCH MULTI-COLOUR REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH RELIEF-CAST PANELSRETAILED BY J.E. CALDWELL, PHILADELPHIA, CIRCA 1882The eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and stamped with serial number 89 to the lower left-hand corner of the backplate, the dial with gilt rosette centred circular enamel hour disc inscribed J. E. CALDWELL & Co., Philadelphia within cream-ground Roman numeral chapter ring, with blued steel hands set into a rectangular panel sculpted in relief with bird inhabited floral sprays picked-out in silver, copper and gilt onto a textured graphite-coloured ground, the bevel-glazed anglaise riche variant case with hinged reeded baton carrying handle to the thick glass centred top panel presentation engraved L.L. Heckscher, from, R.H., Silver Wedding, 1882 to rear edge, over copper balter frieze, projecting graphite cavetto corner mouldings, fluted frieze and Corinthian columns with copper capitals and gilt bases to angles, the sides each inset with finely modelled relief panel depicting bird inhabited foliage in silver, copper and gilt onto a textured graphite ground, the rear with bevel-glazed door onplex ogee-outline plinth base incorporating projecting angles and stepped skirt.19cm (7.5ins) high, 12cm (4.75ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep.Provenance, Private collection, East Midlands.The Philadelphia firm of Jewellers and retailers of silverware, watches, clocks and high-end luxury goods was founded in 1839 at 163 Chestnut Street by James Emmott Caldwell. In 1843 the firm became Bennett and Caldwell before reverting back to J.E. Caldwell andpany in 1848. The biness expanded and subsequently traded from successive larger premises on Chestnut Street. The firm continued trading form Chestnut Street after the death of Caldwell in 1881 up until 2009 only to be revived in 2019 with the new biness trading from Jeweler's Row, Philadelphia.The highly decorative bands and panels decorating the dial and side panels of current lot employs a series of differing techniques to gild, silver, copper and chemically patinate the finely finished relief cast and engraved scenes to provide depth and contrast. A clock with closely related decoration is illtrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 160 (Figure 9.38) where the decoration is described as 'quite outstanding' and 'mt have been one of the most time-consuming methods of decorating a carriage clock'.
