About the Item

First Empire repeating mahogany cabinet Clock ca 1804 Clock movement by Charles Oudin (1743-1803) Mahogany case attributable to Ferdinand Schwerdfeger (1734-1818); Charles Oudin, The Oudin name is one of the oldest French horology firms. It was founded in Paris at the end of the 18th century by Jean-Charles (known as Charles) Oudin, who came from a family of clockmakers in Northwest France. There were four generations of Oudins who were clockmakers, as of the mid 18th century, first in the Meuse region and later, in Paris. Several members of the Oudin family worked for the master watch and clockmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet. Charles Oudin, the best-known member of this horological dynasty, established his business toward the end of the 18th century, devoting himself to luxury and precision clocks and watches. T he first clocks and watches signed "Ch. Oudin, eléve de Breguet" (Charles Oudin, student of Breguet) date from 1797 to approximately 1806 . Sometime after that, he signed his pieces Ch, Oudin Paris Jean-Ferdinand-Joseph Schwerdfeger, a Parisian cabinetmaker received master on May 26, 1786. The cabinetmaker developed a collaboration with Antide Janvier for clock cases. At the death of his wife (1803), eight clock cases are mentioned in his workshop. Schwerdfeger perfectly assimilated the Napoleonic artistic will which advocated a sober style where mahogany and gilded bronze decoration triumphed.
