A LARGE KPM FIGURAL CLOCK 1892 |

modelled in Neo-rococo style in two sections, the top with a seated figure of Cronus holding up a winged hourglass in his right hand and the enamelled clockcase initialed RW in tooled gilding and flanked on either side by a sphinx embraced by a cupid, sceptre marks in underglaze-blue to the underside and back of the clockcase, dated 1892 in tooled gilding to the back of the clockcase

Cronus's right hand and the winged hourglass are restored. There is occasional restoration to the tips of the leaves in his wreath. There is an approximate 3-inch long restored break to the side of his left wing. Cronus's left hand is restored and the scythe in his left hand appears to be a replacement. Two of the flame-like scroll-elements on the bottom of the top section with Cronus have been broken off and restored back. There are few occasional and minor restored chips or breaks to the scroll-elements overall on the clock. Both sphinxes have restoration to the edges of their headdress.
