Clock "longcase" or high box in lacquered wood whose body has very balanced proportions as it was usual in the time of George III (1760-1820). This body has oriental style court scenes arranged: equestrian or hunting parties, ladies in their gardens and domestic environments, alternating with floral compositions and the representation of wild animals.
The case is topped by a temple-shaped crest, also of Japanese inspiration, with protruding pinnacles. The dial, flanked by columns, has Roman numerals, with an auxiliary dial at twelve o'clock and a calendar box.
