Ledure Hémon of Paris created a bronze portico clock from France, dating to 1800–1850, with a mechanical 8‑day movement, four‑column architectural case, a pendulum with a Medusa head, and a two‑train strike on the bell for hours and half‑hours, including the original bell and winding key, in working order though with wear and some probable missing small parts, the gilding showing signs of age.
