Soldano: Fine French Repeating Carriage Clock

19th century
Description

JOSEPH SOLDANO: a fine quality French striking and repeating CARRIAGE CLOCK in full working order. This pretty and quite early clock is housed within an attractive case which retains its original bright gilding, whilst the eight-day movement, which retains its original platform escapement, strikes hours and half-hours on a gong, repeating hours at will via the upper button. Good clear enamel dial in perfect condition, and very fine blued steel (typical of clocks by this maker). Signed “Soldano” underneath the platform. 13cms high (handle down) 9cms wide. c1870

** JOSEPH SOLDANO was a maker of “fine Carriage Clocks” and was awarded medals at the Paris Exhibitions of 1855 and 1878. It was recorded at the time that: “the finish of the movements was conventional but the escapements have been treated with particular care”. Several items (on display) merited “the highest praise”. (Revue Chronometrique, page 70 ~ report on the 1878 exhibition)

** Please note that this good Carriage Clock is not on view in the shop; for further details call 07860 818212 or e-mail kerry@quietstreetantiques.co.uk

FAQs

A French repeating carriage clock is a small, portable spring-driven timepiece developed in France during the early 19th century. Fitted with a repeat button on top, pressing the button triggers the mechanical striking movement to chime the previous hour or quarter on demand.

Authentic carriage clocks are constructed primarily with solid or gilt brass frames, fitted with clear bevelled glass panels to expose the internal movement. Dials are traditionally crafted from white fired enamel featuring painted Roman or Arabic numerals and steel hands.

Authentic period examples feature heavy cast-brass cases, thick hand-bevelled glass panels, and fine mechanical movements often stamped with maker marks on the backplate. The presence of a platform escapement visible through a top glass window is another key identifier of original construction.

A carriage clock adds refined historical interest when placed on a mantelpiece, floating wall shelf, or executive desk. Its compact footprint and polished metallic finish allow it to blend effortlessly alongside leather-bound books or contemporary art.

Keep the timepiece away from direct moisture, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent oxidisation of the brass and movement. Mechanical movements should be wound gently using the correct key size and serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
