This is a mahogany carved case, grapes and grape leaves all around, and with a built in bracket base with hinged door under the shelf for access to the pendulum. The heavy plate fusee movement has straight pillars commensurate with this time period. The dial has a little roughness where the pillar posts are attached. The hands are original. There is an access door on the side of case (besides the one on the bottom). The latch on the bezel needs repair. (The part is there, old solder repair failed). Height 17 inches
