French table clock of Empire style and period. All of it is made in gilded bronze, with a sculptural concept typical of this period. It is a classical piece, with a base decorated with allegorical objects in bas-relief in the form of a frieze. Above it is a round figure representing the muse of agriculture, Ceres, together with a staff with a basket, a rake and a shovel. All of these elements rest on the clock case. The dial features Roman numerals in black with Breguet-type hands. The dial is framed by a garland.
