Chinese clockmaking developed significantly at the end of the 18th Century, with many clocks emulating the English style. This example displays very similar features to those seen on clocks by John Mottram, including splayed feet and beaded and 'feathered' angle mounts. Similar details may be seen on a clock by Mottram sold by The Nezu Museum, Christie's Hong Kong, 27 May 2008, lot 1512. A further example, also by Mottram and also with these attributes, was sold anonymously, Sotheby's London, 12 December 2001, lot 76.
