Design for a standing clock, characterized by two birds resting on one leg, on the left and right side of the base. The base consists of four S-shaped scrolls supporting a crowned coat of arms. Above it a mirror is placed. The round clock plate is held in place by two C-volutes and is decorated with leaf-shaped ornaments.
