A mantel clock of blue and white biscuit porcelain. The blue and white porcelain case is surmounted by a draped figure of Venus seated on a cushion playing with cupid. The octagonal moulded clockcase is supported by rounded sides applied with swags; all on a rectangular marble base with incurved corners and an applied gilt panel decorated with a group of cupids playing musical instruments; on gilt ball feet.

The French eight day locking plate striking mechanism has a going barrel movement and recoil escapement; a white enamel dial with the 12 hours and quarters represented in arabic numerals and a pair of finely pierced gilt hands.
