The clock was designed by Leuteritz using old moulds in the Rococo style: The case rises up on three sturdy rocaille feet heightened in gold, lavishly decorated with delicate, three-dimensional flowers, leaves and rocailles that play around the dial. Above each of the three feet is a figure: on the right, a female putto with flower garlands in her hands and hair, personifying spring; in the middle, a putto of summer with a thick bundle of corn ears; on the left, winter, covered with a red fur cloth, warming his hands on a fire pot; and at the top of the case, autumn, with vine tendrils in his hair and a full wine glass in his hand. Metal and brass dial with black painted Roman numerals and minute divisions on the edge, movement with hour and half-hour chime on bell. Separate three-sided base on volute feet with bouquet and scattered flower painting, as well as abundant plastic flower and leaf decoration. Original movement, checked by a master clockmaker, completely cleaned and fully functional, key available. Design of model 2172 x circa 1870-1880.
