de style Louis XV, les montures en argent ciselées de rinceaux feuillagés, le cadran circulaire en émail peint de Vénus et Cupidon surmonté de la figure en argent d'un putto jouant de la cymbale, les anses en anneaux retenus par des masques de lions, reposant sur deux caryatides en forme d'Indiens d'Amérique, poinçon de maître et de ville

in sinuous Louis XV taste, the silver mounts chased with scrolling foliage, the circular enamel dial brightly painted with Venus and Cupid surmounted by a cast and chased silver figure of a cymbal-playing putto, lion mask swing handles, supported on native American caryatid figures, maker's and Vienna town marks
