an oversize walnut case, and in very good original condition. Although this case has a heavy look and lacks the smooth lines we normally envision on a Vienna, it really has the nicest movement of any clock in the sale today. Has embossed bezel, delicate seconds hand (also neat hour and minute hands), engraved and gilded mounting bracket, large engraved beat set assembly, fancy lyre style pulleys, engraved and gilded, fancy grid pendulum with engraved accents and with an "R-A" pendulum arrow that really moves when you adjust the pendulum. One molding on inset panel is replaced; one weight hook defective. It does run and strike, but will need cleaning prior to regular service. Height 61 inches
