A stunning portico clock set, beautiful white marble with gilt mounts. The top of the clock is surmounted by a putti with a bow and arrow, an allegory for love. The movement is housed in a drum that forms part of the portico, supported by 4 Corinthian columns. The pendulum is in the form of a basket of fruit and is visible below the movement. The dial is delicately painted with floral swags and is enamel on copper.  

The excellent movement is by A D Mougin, it runs for 8 days and strikes a bell on the hours and halves - click the movie below to hear the bell.

Condition of the case is very good, just some very small nibbles along the bottom edge of the marble. The gilt finish of the mounts is very good and we have polished them with some wax. The dial as a small repair to the centre and also near the 12 o'clock - these are only noticeable on close inspection - see the picture below.

A spectacular and unusual clock!
