    "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.",
