Source Description
Atypically for Perkhin, this elegant clock is in the neoclassical rather than the rococo style usually associated with his works. The face of the clock is en plein enameled in a subtle grayish blue color over a guilloché background, which has been mechanically engraved in a wavy, moiré-like pattern. Neoclassical reeding and laurel leaf designs adorn the clock's rim and the white dial. The clock has a seven-day movement which is marked Heg. Zab.
