The urn is mounted to a substantial fluted base with 4 large acanthus swags, the whole mounted to a octagonal white marble plinth on an ormolu sub base and 4 turned bun feet. The 8-day striking movement is wound from the rear, horizontally, near the base of the clock. There is loss of gilding on the fluted base, however it is still attractive. Strikes on a bell. This is a large and heavy clock. Height 19.25 inches
