Lot Essay

James Marwick specialized in clocks and watches for Turkey (Ottoman Empire). Marwick's son in law Richard Markham retained Marwick's name, signing products Marwick and Markham. John Henry Borrell (1794-1840) was associated with Marwick Markham, and also made musical clocks with automata, particularly for the Middle and Far Eastern markets.
