About the Item

An extraordinary work of art by America's leading maker of luxe objects for homes and businesses in the early 20th century, this large and heavy Siena marble clock by J. E. Caldwell is supported by a pair of parcel gilt bronze caryatids with Egyptian loincloths, kneeling on tasseled pillows. The marble has a rich, golden color, and the bronze is a lustrous dark brown, contrasting with the gilded skirts of the two nude male figures. The center of the clock face features an elaborate gilded bronze medallion featuring female faces and foliate motifs. The overall effect is highly impressive. The clock was originally owned by the Lorillard family, and was originally featured at their estate in Tuxedo Park, developed by Pierre Lorillard IV starting in the 1880s. The clock includes a photocopy of a description of the piece from an auction catalogue years ago. The original key is missing, and the original works have been replaced with a modern mechanism (not tested).

J.E. Caldwell & Co.

With intricate and refined artistry, the jewelers at J.E.Caldwell & Co. have been handcrafting illustrious watches and adornments — including cocktail rings, engagement rings and link bracelets — for nearly two centuries. The American firm, which is among the oldest silver and jewelry companies in the United States, has found acclaim with collectors and buyers worldwide.

Born in Poughkeepsie, New York, J.E. Caldwell & Co. founder James Emmott Caldwell (1813–81) apprenticed as a silversmith and subsequently trained in watchmaking under the esteemed watchmaker Samuel Ward Benedict in New York City. Following his apprenticeships, Caldwell sought work in Philadelphia, initially securing a position with a wholesale jeweler before importing watches for a jewelry manufacturer. In the late 1830s, he established a storefront of his own, in a stately marble building on Chestnut street. Caldwell partnered with James M. Bennett thereafter in order to launch a jewelry shop nearby that they called Bennett & Caldwell. With the passing of Bennett, Caldwell partnered with a former employer, John C. Farr, and changed the company name, establishing the J.E. Caldwell & Co. of today.

In 1876, Philadelphia hosted the first World’s Fair held in the United States. Alongside the Gorham Manufacturing Company — a legendary but largely overlooked American silver firm — J.E. Caldwell showcased an array of stunning jewelry and silver objects at the event’s Centennial International Exhibition. In the early 1900s, J.E. Caldwell was contracted to fashion a presentation silver tea service — more than 160 pieces — for a newly commissioned battleship, the U.S.S. Pennsylvania. The brand’s exquisite silver wares traveled at sea aboard this battleship — and later, on the U.S.S. Valley Forge — for decades.

J.E. Caldwell & Co. became known for exquisite Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewelry. Ownership of the firm passed through the family over the years before changing hands to business interests outside of the family. Today a J.E. Caldwell & Co. retail location continues to operate in Philadelphia.
