The white enamel displays beautiful minute numbers, fine Roman numeral hour numbers and elegant pierced ormolu hands. At each side are lovely reeded patterns and intricately detailed acanthus leaves. A wonderfully executed flowing ribbon leads up to an impressive urn with the eternal flame finial and a detailed mask. All original gilt throughout.
