The clock is housed within an elaborate architectural brass case of classical inspiration, featuring elegant twin handles and a decorative urn-form finial rising above the case. The richly detailed construction gives the clock a substantial and luxurious presence, making it equally appealing as a functional timepiece and decorative object. The circular dial measures approximately 9.5 cm in diameter and is beautifully integrated into the ornate case. Internally, the clock is fitted with a movement by Franz Hermle, one of Germany's established manufacturers of mechanical clock movements. The striking mechanism sounds on the hour and half-hour, adding the traditional acoustic character associated with mechanical mantel clocks. Standing approximately 41 cm high, this is a generously proportioned decorative clock ideally suited to a mantelpiece, console table, library, study or traditional interior.
