專家說明

As with other sauvage clocks the case of the present example was made in France. The dial and movement, however, were made in England. They are approximate contemporaries. It was not unusual for English retailers of this period to purchase decorative French cases and use locally-sourced movements and this was probably the case with the present clock.
