The rectangular white Carrara marble base is decorated with a striking array of richly chased ormolu mounts with beautiful pierced rinceaux shaped foliate designs and a fine wrap around ormolu band. At the center is a beautiful richly chased cherub with open arms amidst oak leaves and scrolled designs with the striking clock face above him. The clock face displays a unique and most decorative design with fitted enameled reserves of cobalt blue Roman numerals. Above a thick decorative ormolu band with a central lion's head are two richly chased maidens dress in wonderfully executed flowing garments reclined and reading books. All original gilt throughout.
