Literature Ord-Hume, A.W.J.G., The Musical Clock, 1995 Kowar, H.,?Die Wiener Fl?tenuhr, 2001 Provenance Possibly acquired through Jansen Notes The late 18th century was a golden age for the development of the tall case musical clock, fitted with bellows-driven wooden pipe organs. These were particularly favoured in German-speaking territories, and important makers included Peter Bofenschen in Hanover, Heinrich Rauschenplatt in?G?ttingen, and the court clockmaker?Christian Ernst Kleemeyer in Berlin. Clockwork and organ manufacturers often worked with preeminent cabinetmakers to produce elaborate?architectonic cases, such as Peter Kinzing in Neuwied who partnered with his?neighbour David Roentgen and was named horloger de la Reine?by Marie-Antoinette, and in Stockholm Pehr Strand provided movements for cases made by the leading woodcarver and mirror-maker Pehr Ljung in the latest Gustavian taste. Referred to as?Fl?tenuhren?(flute clocks),?these timepieces were sometimes the result of a collaboration with important composers of the day. At the Esterhazy palace, Franz Joseph Haydn wrote several pieces for organ clocks created by the?court librarian?Father Primitivus Niemecz (1750-1806), one of which is now in the Speelklok Museum?in Utrecht, and Beethoven was persuaded by his friend Johann Nepomuk?Maelzel, inventor of the metronome, to write his Wellington’s Victory?symphony?originally as?a musical clock version that was manufactured?as a?secretaire by the Viennese clockmaker?Franz Egidius Arzt, formerly with Pelham Galleries, London and Paris. The richly carved neoclassical details of this case, which retains much of its old polychrome surface decoration, is particularly noteworthy for the presence of the four elegant female figures wearing Levantine headdresses, indicating the clock would have originally stood in a salon turc. European fascination with all things Turkish had been growing throughout the 18th century, following the defeat of the Ottoman armies at the Siege of Vienna in 1683 that definitively eliminated the military threat to the West posed by the Sublime Porte. Attention was now directed towards the colourful and richly decorated interiors and costumes of the Ottoman Empire, which became part of a broader interest in exoticism during the Rococo period, and Turkish scenes and figures in Turkish costume began appearing in paintings, wall decoration, porcelain and goldsmiths' work alongside Chinoiserie and singerie themes. The appeal of what Lady Mary Wortley Montagu described as?'the refinements of an indolent voluptuousness' continued well into the final decades of the 18th century, particularly in France, where the King's brother the Comte d'Artois commissioned a cabinet turc in his Paris residence the Palais du Temple in 1776, with luxuriously upholstered seat furniture supplied by Georges Jacob. This prompted a sort of?design competition with his sister-in-law Queen Marie-Antoinette, who promptly commissioned her own boudoir turc at Fontainebleau the following year, designed by the architect Richard Mique with boiseries decorated by the Rousseau brothers. Both would then?install further Turkish salons at Versailles,?setting off a?trend among the late Ancien Regime aristocracy. The fashion for all things à la turque also extended to music, influenced by the distinctive percussion used by Turkish Janissary military bands, which had become very popular throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Many of the era's major composers integrated 'Turkish' elements into their works,?for example?Haydn in his Military Symphony, Mozart's opera?Die Entführung aus dem Serail, and perhaps most famously Beethoven in his Ninth Symphony. Such music was?ideally suited for a clock?intended for?a Turkish Room, like the offered lot.

Endangered Species
Certain property sold at auction, for example, items made of or incorporating plant or animal materials such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn etc., irrespective of age or value, may require a license or certificate prior to exportation and additional licenses or certificates upon importation to another country. Sotheby's suggests that buyers check on their government wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the purchaser's responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. In the case of denial of any export or import license or of delay in the obtaining of such licenses, the purchaser is still responsible for making on-time payment of the total purchase price for the lot.

Although licenses can be obtained to export some types of endangered species, other types may not be exported at all, and other types may not be resold in the United States. Upon request, Sotheby's is willing to assist the purchaser in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates. However, there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. Please check with the specialist department or the Shipping Department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to these export/import license and certificate requirements, or any other restrictions on exportation.
