The porcelain panels have been beautifully hand painted to imitate cloisonné and Champlevé enamel. The dial is numbered in 24-karat gilt Chinese numerals and further decorated with koi fish, butterflies, flowers, birds, and fruited vines. The bronze is beautifully cast with gorgeous chinoiserie/Japanism openwork designs. The clock is mounted on four intricately designed dore bronze elephant heads. France, circa 1870.
