Joseph Soldano Carriage Clock No 441

19th century
For Sale by Its About Time
Description

An exceptional carriage clock by this early and sought after maker of 'Gorge' case carriage clocks. If you know about the earlier carriage clocks by J.Soldano then you will know that the all important Soldano numbered escapement which matches the clock number is present and correct on this clock. What is fascinating about this clock is the Gong and Hammer. The swap from bell striking carriage clocks to gong striking was being introduced around 1860 and through to 1870, this clock exhibits a very unique hammer with blued screws and a coiled gong of early design. It does make you wonder if this was and is one of the first gong striking, gorge cased carriage clocks produced by Soldano. We have photo's on our Instagram account of the escapement being taken apart, cleaned and serviced with the silvering being brightened up too. The clock has an engine turned and gilt masked dial and the top glass has the oval aperture to match. A 'Pons' stamp to the backplate who supplied the Blanc Roulant. It strikes the hour and half hour and has push repeat too. The clock is in remarkable condition and can be viewed now in our shop. Further images can be emailed if required.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Developed in France during the early nineteenth century, carriage clocks were portable, spring-driven timepieces originally designed for travellers to maintain accurate time on journeys.

These timepieces are constructed primarily from solid brass or gilded bronze cases, enclosing precision steel gear trains, bevelled glass viewing panels, and white enamel dials.

Authentic examples feature heavy brass cases, hand-cut gear teeth, platform escapements visible through top glass panels, and maker marks or serial numbers stamped on the back movement plate.

A vintage carriage clock serves as a historic accent when positioned on a mantelpiece, styled alongside modern artwork, or placed within a curated bookshelf display.

Dust the exterior casing gently using a soft microfibre cloth without chemical polishes, and ensure the internal mechanical movement is serviced by a professional horologist every three to five years.
