Designed by Geoffroy-Dechaume, executed by Auguste Delafontaine.
In the Persian style, comprising a central clock with a pair of flanking two light candelabra, the clock signed 'Geoffroy Dechaume', the bronze stamped 'AD'.
From the accounts of Geoffroy-Dechaume, in 1852 he designed a clock "in the Persian style" for Delafontaine. An example was exhibited at the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris.
