However, his grandson, Qianlong, whose dynasty spanned most of the 18th Century (1735-1795), with a huge budget, collected throughout his 60-year reign. This resulted in a substantial expansion for English merchants and makers. An observation by the missionary Valentine Chalier in 1736 ' As for clocks, the Imperial palace is stuffed with them…..there must be more than 4000 from the best masters of Paris and London…'. As Dr. White notes in his extensive book English Clocks for the Eastern Markets, Qianlong was simply the greatest collector of Western clockwork there has ever been. From the 1750s onwards, commercial activity in the West focused on objects that could be exported to ease the balance of payments between East and West, fuelled by the heavy demand in the West for exotic Asian wares, such as porcelain, textiles, lacquer and of course tea. The form of case is known as the 'scroll angle' design and was most used by Henry Borrell and John Mottram.Two similar clocks, with variations to the one offered, were sold at Christie's, Hong Kong, Magnificent Clocks for the Chinese Imperial Court from the Nezu Museum, 27 May 2008, lot 1512 & 1515. Another similar by Mottram was sold at Sotheby's, New York, 6 December 2011, lot 284.
