Architectural clock in black and green marble, the ormolu dial flanked by fluted pilasters in patinated bronze with Corinthian capitals, the broken pediment framing a terrace housing the Medici lion* in patinated bronze.
Pair of two-tone marble cassolette goblets with patinated bronze handles and pedestal resting on pilastered bases.
Excellent condition, original movement complete and in working order.
Napoleon III period

*The Medici lion, after the version executed by Flaminio Vacca around 1594 for the entrance to the Villa Medici in Rome, and moved in 1789 to the loggia dei Lanzi in Florence. The lion holds a gilded bronze sphere under its paw, a reference to the six balls that make up the coat of arms of the House of Medici.
