A large Directoire period clock distinguished by its architectural silhouette and contrasting patinas. The circular white dial, with Roman numerals, rests on a console with lion's paw feet. On either side, symmetrical scrolls with ears of wheat extend into garlands of grapes and a central bouquet of flowers that crowns the whole. In the center, below the dial, an openwork decoration of laurel branches highlights the pendulum. The clock rests on a rectangular white marble base adorned with a relief frieze depicting putti playing on a chariot (the chariot of the god Mars).
