Saw this clock pointed out in an earlier post. A revived interest in history has not gone unnoticed. So, for anyone interested:

Red, Green, BLUE Room

On the mantle is a bronze-dore clock bearing the figure of the Carthage general Hannibal. The clock, made by French bronze casters Deniere and Matelin, was one of a pair bought by Monroe in 1817. It has been in the Blue Room since the days of his presidency.

I'm glad someone cleaned it up since last year. How long did it sit tarnished? Lazy mofos ;)
