The gilded bronze clock is characterized by its vegetal motif decorations, as well as the architectural references that adorn it.
The case is further enhanced by the Sèvres porcelain plaques, famous for their excellence and chromatic richness. The polychrome enamels that decorate these plaques are a triumph of floral motifs which unfold with grace and naturalness, while a romantic scene dominates in the center.
On top, a cobalt blue porcelain vase, framed by gold accents. The color palette used in the plaques is in harmonious consonance with the intense blue of the vase, creating a visual effect of regal elegance.
