The large bronze figure of Imogene is silvered, as are the frieze of Greek merry makers that surround the waist of the clock there are dancing maidens, men with wine flasks and large urns, and winged advisers on the sides. Imogene is holding her golden jewel box in a contemplative fashion. The black marble is incised with the lines filled with red enamel. The feet and swags are ormolu with their original bright gilding. The well made bell strike movement is signed Deniere, Paris. The only minuses are the hands that are later replacements, and the bottom slab of black marble the got broken in 2 and glued (only visible on close examination). Very heavy, and lots of clock for the money. Height 16 inches
