This very large gallery clock is well made with a dovetailed case and a heavy brass bezel with beveled glass. The 17 inches dial has some damage and someone tried to enhance some of the numbers with black paint. The clock has a large and heavy plated fusee movement, with original chain intact. The pendulum is homemade, and the clock deserves one of those after-market fusee pendulums that cost around $45 (+fitting expense). A minor note is that the bezel dowels have been glued in and will need to be drilled out and replaced with a turned taper pin with knob. Would be $1200 if original. Height 23 inches
