The face plate, with Arabic numerals and time and chime apertures, is set into marble and supported by six Corinthian columns, the case itself raised on scrolled feet reminiscent of a Moorish slipper. The face plate is signed "Tiffany" above the #6. The back is stamped "Tiffany & Co. New York 7925."

Moorish Revival became a popular design movement in the wake of Orientalist Romanticism during the late 19th century. Louis Comfort Tiffany designed Moorish themed items for the interior of the Henry Osborne Havemeyer residence on 5th Avenue, constructed during the early 1880s, and this clock is possibly one of these special creations in collaboration with Tiffany & Co. prior to Louis's departure from the firm.
