On all sides are names and dates of commeration from the year 1486 to 1829. The bronze numeral dial covers a 24 hour period in 12 hour incriments.

Description: Antique French Marque Depose Hermes Statue Clock: T & S with a decorated porcelain dial. The bell strike movement is signed “M” in a wreath (Marque Depose) and numbered 2184. The statue is a spelter Hermes that sits on a green onyx base. We believe that Marque Depose is a mark of Japy Freres. (The Hermes statue has been repainted. There are hairline cracks to the case below the 4. The clock is not running.) Sells as is, where is.
