French table clock of Empire style and period. All of it is made in gilded bronze, with a sculptural concept typical of this time. It is a piece of classical aesthetics, with base decorated with relief ornamentation in the form of three floral borders that occupy the entire front of the base. Above it rises the clock case with Roman numerals and hands of openwork design and finally sitting on the clock case can be seen the presence of a figure in round bulk representing a muse holding a garland in her hands. This sculptural value of the clock goes beyond the female figure since numerous elements can be seen such as the base of a column, a spear and a basket.
