Clock (Pendule):

Table clock, crafted in finely chiseled gilt bronze, representing Clio or the Allegory of History. This model was designed by François Morlay in 1775, and is a replica of the clock that was placed in the room of the Countess of Provence (Royal Family) in her royal apartment at Versailles.
It consists of a female figure reclining on the day dial, writing on a papyrus scroll, while on the other side a small winged cupid observes. Garlands adorn the dial, made of gilt bronze decorated with oak leaves, and the base features rosettes and foliage garlands.

Three versions of this clock are included:
* Fully gilt bronze,
* Combination of gilt bronze with patinated bronze figures,
* A version with figures in Sèvres biscuit porcelain.

The clock is fully functional. Hours and minutes can be adjusted, and a set of four 18th-century chimes strikes every quarter-hour.
