The Chinese pre-occupation with mechanical timepieces can trace its roots back to the Court of the Wanli emperor who received as a gift two timepieces from the Jesuit priest Matteo Ricci in 1601. During the 18th century (from Kangxi reign onwards) exotic musical automaton timepieces became highly desirable and thus a very important commodity with regards to maintaining healthy trade relations between London and the Chinese Court. By the time of the reign of the Qianlong emperor such examples of the clockmaking art had become so fashionable that they were often traded as gifts to eminent officials and wealthy merchants as well as the Court itself.Mechanical clocks also had a symbolic purpose to the emperor signifying the ability to master the time and the calendar. As such they cemented his position as the Son of Heaven of having divine powers and the ability to control the transcendence of time in the Universe. Clocks were also valued for their practical applications and symbolised the smooth running of the emperor's administration through efficient time management. This significance is perfectly illustrated by a poem composed by the Kangxi emperor entitled 'The Chanting of the Chiming Clock' which translates as: Methods originating from the West taught us with a keen heart.Wheels circle on a quarterly basis, hands move according to minutes.Dawn needs not to ne announced, golden clock reports in advanceWork hard on government affairs in the morning, memorials are never completed in a late manner The Qianlong emperor's interest in the clockmaking art led to the expansion of the imperial workshops employing both Chinese and European clockmakers. These skilled artisans were given unrivalled access to the finest raw materials available at the time including gold, jade, ivory and gemstones. The first references to the imperial workshops making mechanical timepieces can be found during the Yongzheng period from records dating to 1723. Local workshops established in Guangzhou, Yangzhou and Beijing produced timepieces based on European (mostly English) models but with re-worked details to cater for the domestic Chinese market. Testament to the quality of Chinese clocks made in Guangzhou is represented by the fact that the Qainlong Emperor received examples as imperial tribute and went on to amass a huge collection with 3,431 timepieces on display within the imperial palace complex at one time (see Moments of Eternity: Timepieces Collection from the Palace Museum exhibition catalogue, Macao, 2004, pages 448-49).The current lot draws on European models for its form and the engraving to the backplate very closely resembles English work as illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 on page 363 (Figure 20.7). The painting to the scene in the arch however is typical of Chinese work with details strongly delineated and executed in a bold palette of colours. The movement winding from the back also reflects Chinese preference for dials not to be interrupted by the presence of winding holes. The mounts show a high degree of hand finishing/chiselling, and the clock is particularly attractive due to its relatively small proportions.
