Important mantle clock in patinated and gilt bronze, finely chiselled, representing a river god seated, leaning on a vase from which flows the river. He wears a crown of reeds, a paddle in his hand, his body partly naked and covered with drapery. The base supported by four legs in the shape of dolphins is adorned with all the symbolism related to River God, in this case the Tiber, as well as attributes of the Roman army such as a helmet or the SPQR mark. The abbreviation for the motto "Senatus Populus Que Romanus" (meaning "The senate and the Roman people") was the emblem of the Roman Republic, and by tradition of the Roman Empire. More than any other symbol, the four letters representing the Roman political power. In addition, the center of these symbols, the representation of the she-wolf feeding Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome reinforces the inextricable link between politics and religion in the Roman Empire. Dial with Roman numerals guilloche background. Original mechanism with a thread in working condition.

Gilt bronze sculpture representing Diana the Huntress naked, standing on a cloud, a bow in her hand and holding her quiver on the back by a belt that goes around her chest. The crescent, attribute of the goddess, stands out of her hair held by a high knot. In an elegant position, she seems to observe the path of the arrow she just sent. The sculpture is signed Mathurin Moreau. Son and pupil of Jean-Baptiste Moreau, he won the second Prix de Rome in 1842 and exhibited at the Salon of 1848 where he received numerous awards. His work is rich with a predilection for feminine grace, figures and genre scenes and allegories.
