Charles Oudin

Charles Oudin was one of the most important clockmakers of the 19th century. The firm sold their clocks and watches to European royalty and won awards for their work at the Exhibitions of the Products of French Industry in the early 19th century and the International Exhibitions of the 1860s. Today, Oudin items can be viewed in major museums in both France and elsewhere in Europe and they are highly sought-after by private collectors. Oudin was one of the finest clockmakers of the 19th century, and this Orientalist Islamic style piece is testimony to the company’s skill and ingenuity in design.
