Musical clock in a cylindrical case made of polished metal, installed between the columns of the portico on a rectangular base of white marble resting on four adjustable feet. The portico columns are made of white marble with bases featuring details in grey marble and overlay miniatures in jasper porcelain framed with a relief regular ornament in a golden color. The details of the columns and the base are bordered by a pearl-like design, with a rim featuring diagonal fluting, lattice inserts, and an overlay relief ornament in a golden color. On the columns, there are pine cones and vases made of grey marble with golden torches, on tripod stands with three-dimensional images of fauns made of gilded bronze. Above the clock on the grey marble platform, there’s a vase of white marble decorated with a pearl-like design, handles resembling stylized bird heads with rings in their beaks, chains, and tassels, topped with a golden torch. The clock's dial is white enamel with hour markers in Arabic numerals and minute markers in Arabic numerals at fifteen-minute intervals, with minute divisions on a blue enamel ring scale, featuring two ornate hands and three openings for winding, hour chime, and striking, with the inscription in handwritten font "Robert Et Courvoisier" in an oval golden frame. The front side has a glazed cover with a bezel decorated with a pearl-like design, a rim with diagonal fluting, a button, and a cast openwork ornament made of gilded bronze depicting a flower, a bow, and branches of olive and oak on the lower part of the case. The back of the clock is closed with a door featuring an openwork grille, covered with fabric on the inside and equipped with a latch. On the right side of the clock’s casing, there is a lever with a rod for activating the musical mechanism, on the left a switch to silence the chime, and a cord with a tassel to activate the repeater.

The base of the clock is mounted on a rectangular pedestal, with projecting corner rectangular fluted columns made of white marble adorned with decorative elements of gilded bronze, and a cornice decorated with a pearl-like design and relief ornamentation, on four profiled golden feet. The inlaid top panel of the pedestal made from tiles in red, brown, and lilac colors is bordered by balustrades with violets at the corners. The front side of the pedestal features a door with an openwork grille and floral ornamentation surrounding a stylized lyre and two diamond-shaped miniatures of blue jasper porcelain with relief images in white. On the sides of the pedestal are drop-down doors with openwork grilles and leafy ornamentation, while the back features a door with a grille. A pale lilac fabric is stretched behind all the grilles. Under the doors are rectangular net-like golden inserts. Inside the pedestal is the musical mechanism—a organ with metal pipes, a fusee, two spring motors, and a program cylinder for six melodies. On the left side, there are two openings with pins for winding and a cord with a tassel for activating the musical mechanism. The musical mechanism plays one of the six melodies every hour or upon request. The clock mechanism features a pendulum with a polished lens, suspended on silk, with an eight-day wind-up, three spring motors, hour striking, a quarter chime Grande sonnerie, and a repeater.
