    Elegant portico clock in white and black marble and rich ornamentation of chiseled and gilded bronze presenting a floral urn at the damping, two black marble columns topped with toupis urns and decorated with bronze falls decorated with ribbon knots, quivers, lyres, flowers, foliage, each framed by baluster-shaped columns in gilded bronze, joined on small oval bases decorated with acanthus leaves, themselves resting on a larger oval base, decorated with a gilded bronze bas-relief representing children playing and supported by four small circular pedestal feet (a damaged and restored black marble column). The enameled dial indicating the hours in Roman numerals, the minutes in Arabic numerals, is inserted in a gilded bronze cylinder and underlined by an openwork apron with motifs of a crown of flowers, ribbon knots, flowering branches and bunches of grapes (small restoration to a winding hole). Original movement with a plate suspension striking the hours and half-hours, in working order.
