.
The clock is mounted in an ormolu case shaped like an Empire chair. On it stands the preaching Amor cloaked in a hood with a flaming heart in his hand. On the opposite side, a woman kneels in front of a reading desk with a book inscribed; l’art d’amour d’Ovid (Ars Amatoria). The group stands on a base with canted corners and a relief on the front showing Amor feeding a butterfly. The whole is taised on four toupee feet.
