Note: According to Richard Redding, Ridel was an expert in his field, whose name is only associated with cases of the very highest quality. He used cases made by Lemoyne, Feuchères, Denière, Mathelin and Deverberie and had dials and enamel decoration executed by Coteau as well as Georges-Adrien Merlet. Ridel is also noted to have used springs made by Monginot l’Aîné. Although little of his early life is known, Ridel appears to have made his name before the Revolution since J-D Augarde notes that he supplied a cartel clock to Mesdames Victoire and Adelaïde at Bellevue before 1789 (no. 3748 in the sale of the Château). Ridel continued his success during the Directoire period and by 1800 was established at Rue aux Ours, Paris. A skeleton clock by Ridel can be seen in the Musée François-Duesberg, Mons, Belgium (cited above), the museum owns a ‘Pendule L’Afrique’ by him, while the Metropolitan Museum, New York owns another of his clocks. €6500 - 7000
