A very large and imposing French marble ball clock, resting on the shoulders of a wonderful bronze figure of a standing Atlas. Atlas, son of Titan, from Greek mythology is holding the clock on his shoulders as if it were the world. All standing on a square marble base.
I have seen many smaller examples of this style of clock, but never something of this size.
