Vincenti thru J E Caldwell Shelf Clock. 20 Tall France Nice Inlaid Wood Case. Would make a great gift for a special occasion, or keep for yourself. We can therefore better control our acquisition costs, keep commission costs low (if applicable), and finally, we don’t have the overhead that the higher end houses and galleries pass on to their clients. This clock was made by a well known and fine clock maker in France named Vincenti. This clock is in running and striking condition. The clock strikes once on the half hour and the number of hours on the hour. Very nice latter 1800s clock here. The case appears to be made of mahogany wood. Great inlaid double wood banding on the front of the case below the clock face. That banding color carries into the piece that is the bottom of the hood on top of the clock. Nice wood finial on the top of the case that is glued in place. A shrinkage crack to the front of the case just above the clock face. One of the sides of the skirt and the hood on the clock are starting to come unglued and will need attention at some time. Bottom skirt and the ball legs are made of wood as well. The back door is gold colored brass and has a red fabric in it. Nice looking silver colored tin face on this clock. Shows some swirling to the finish, not sure if that is original or something someone did later. The hands match and appear to be appropriate to the clock. The bezel is still firmly attached to the case and the glass is intact, no blistering or cracking. The movement’s brass back plate has the numbers “1349”, “8” and “4” at the bottom middle. The pendulum bob has 1349 and Theibel on it. The numbers matching up on the movement and the bob show both are original to each other making the clock even more collectible. The pendulum rod show some corrosion to it’s nickle finish. The movement also has “Made in France” below that. Just above that is the embossed seal for Medaille D’Argent Vincenti” and then “1855. Those years do not mean the clock was made in that year. It was the year that Vincenti won an award for their clock making which allowed them to put it on their movements. Clock is probably from the 1850s to 1890s. The pendulum for the clock looks appropriate. The clock will come with a winding key. There is no representation that the clock is in original condition, or will continue to be in working order. The clock is 19-5/8″ tall, by 9.75″ across, by 7 wide. The clock face is 5.5 across. Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures. If you have not had experience with old mechanical clocks before, I would suggest you steer clear. One really needs to have the patience, and skill to work with these great works of art. They are not our modern plug in and go, or change the battery clocks.
