Rehearsal watch with three cupboards; Esther for Ahasveros. Repeating watch with three cupboards. The timepiece covered with a dust cover, and at the front through a white enamel dial with a digger ring. The topically hinged golden interior cupboard is decorated along the sides with cut-away flower and leafwork, on the four sides interrupted by volutes surrounded panels. The panels are filled with allegories on the four elements. The sideways hinged golden wardrobe is both at the front and at the back surrounded by open-worked railing with flowers, and is interrupted by four panels enclosed by volutes. In it, allegories on the seasons have been applied, exclusively depicted on the front by symbols, on the back by personnifications. The large rear panel surrounded by symmetrical movable volutes is filled with a representation of Esther for Ahasveros. The whole is closed in a gold-plated copper protective cabinet, covered with green rogle leather and covered with golden nails in pattern.
