On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. This is a lot where Christie’s holds a direct financial guarantee interest.

The inscription on the shield refers to Psalm 31 in the Bible, verses 15 & 16: "My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me."

A different version of Father Time, holding a watch mounted in porcelain frame, was modeled by J. J. Kändler at about the same time as the present example by Eberlein. For a similar example, see E. Pauls-Eisenbeiss, German Porcelain of the 18th Century: The Pauls Collection, London, 1972, vol. I, pp. 128-9.
