Clock

Movement with circular plates. Spring driven with anchor escapement. Rear pendulum as regulator. Prismatic base of black polished wood standing on brass legs in the form of circular plates on a ball.
On the basis there are two massive, conical columns supporting the upper part of the clock. Between the pillars there is a pendulum with an end in the shape of a lens. The housing of the clock is semicircularly rounded, and at the corners concavely shaped. The dial is circular, protected by glass doors. The hours are marked with Arabic numerals, minutes are not marked. The brass hands are wide and perforated. Around the dial there is a circular garland with signs of the zodiac. With the exception of the base, the top and the back of the housing, the entire surface is decorated with inlay of brass and rosewood. This technique was patented in 1902 by a German company Erhard und Söhne having exclusive right for the use of it.

The effect strongly resembles the Boulle technique developed by André-Charles Boulle, the cabinet-maker of Louis XIV.
