This clock is in very good as-found condition, having been in storage for some time. The Cannelee case retains most of its original gilding that will clean up nicely (do NOT rub this case, clean in solution). The porcelain dial is perfect and all glass is good. The movement carries the Drocourt trademark, the letters D and C with a tiny carriage clock between, plus serial number 16,249 on both the movement and the case. Since know serial numbers range from 1248 to 35233, this clock falls into the middle time period of their production. Retains original platform intact, ticks but needs cleaning. Exceptional quality. Height 6 inches
