The mantel clock is cast entirely in ormolu. The clock sits on toupie feet and features a rectangular base with recessed frieze of wings and arrows in relief. Atop this sits a further rectangular form section which features twin classical heads in roundels to either side, and the circular clock face set to the centre above foliate motifs. The clock face features a white dial with black Roman numerals and hands. Atop the clock dial sits the figure of Asteria with Zeus in the form of an eagle with an urn and potted plant. The story is taken from Greek mythology and depicts the moment that Zeus pursued Asteria in the form of an eagle. She later transforms into a quail to avoid his advances.
