During the 18th century a large trade was built up between Turkey and England. Turkish-market watches are more common than clocks; both had dials with Turkish numerals and often Turkish signatures on their movements. Turkish-market clocks were generally expensive articles, decorated with inlay, tortoiseshell and lacquer, with silver or gilded mounts and frequently incorporating musical work. The type is almost entirely confined to bracket clocks, their decoration being in the European taste except for the exclusion of human representations. A few makers specialised in this trade, notably Markwick Markham of London. The trade declined early in the 19th century.
