It is flanked by two small side columns and stands on four bun feet. The white dial displays black Arabic numerals and includes two winding holes.

The pendulum is present but currently detached and resting within the case. The second clock is an arched-top mantel clock, identified by the dial inscription as an Enfield clock, made in England. The dark wood case is decorated with two gilt leaf motifs at the lower corners. The white dial features black Arabic numerals and two winding holes. The rear door includes an arched panel with green fabric lining. This clock has a spring-driven mechanical movement with a spiral gong chime.
