This fine clock stands upon a Rococo style ormolu plinth and is surrounded by foliage. The clock features a twin train 8 day mechanical movement striking the hours and half on a bell. The clock is regulated by a count wheel. The clock and movement have been stamped by the makers 'Alliez and Breguer' alongside 'Japy Freres'. The bell, pendulum and winding key are present.

The ormolu is in good condition and retains a very good colour.
