Marble structure in the shape of a lyre, mounted with bands and swags of ormolu, on a marble base, between the arms of the lyre a round gilt brass clock with enamel dial signed "Lenoir a Paris", the movement with anchor escapement and count wheel striking on a small bell, stamped on the backplate "A.D. Mougin", "5134" stamped on backplate and pendulum. The pendulum, in the form of a mock gridiron, also representing the strings of a lyre is attached to a ring of paste brilliants which encircles the enamel dial.
