The center finial sits between the carved rosettes, and the flanking finials are on fluted block plinths. There is a molded arch above the door, free-standing turned and fluted columns at four corners, and a glazed door with an astragal top. Waist with cove and ovolo moldings at the top, fluted quarter-columns at the front corners, and a case door with concave top corners. Base with ogee molding at the top. Base section with fluted columns at the front corners, and an applied ovolo molding, creating the illusion of a base panel. Supported on ogee bracket feet.

A seconds dial is engraved above the pierced hands. The days of the month (1-31) are engraved inside the hour ring, below the roman numerals.
