This clock has had a lot of restoration. The eagle splat and parts of the top are new. The doors appear to have been stripped of their veneer and new veneer applied in the wrong direction along with the addition of moldings to support the glass. The feet and finials may be incorrect. The weights are not original. The center tablet is exceptional (with some flakes), the lower tablet painted on old glass to match the center. It has a signed strap brass movement, nice dial and hands not a bad looking clock; very nice label. Height 40 inches $500-700
