Each blue tole drum shaped body is surmounted by a flaming torch and flanked by trumpet blowing cherubic herm figures and suspended from a knotted serpent and flower coiled rope. Beneath the dials foliate swags hold musical attributes. All executed in exceptionally finely cast gilt-bronze.
The enamel barometer dial signed ‘Mottheau & fils. A Paris’.
The enamel clock dial signed ‘J & A UNGERER. Strasbourg’.
