Note du spécialiste

This clock has Turkish numerals on its dial and was part of the large group of clocks intended for export to the Near East, the Turkish Empire and Persia. There was a considerable trade in the 18th century and beginning of the 19th century of London clock makers selling their clocks abroad.
