It is of a restrained and chic design, classical with an arched top surmounted by a handled urn. The frieze features a bas-relive depicting a cherub in a garden with a dog. To the sides are goddess masks and is sits on hairy paw feet with acanthus leave supports. Candelabra are conforming in style with the same handled urns and a large and graceful splay of five branches with flower bud nozzels. Original snuffers sit in the central nozzles as finials.

About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
