Case has bevel doors veneered in mahogany with only a couple minor chips on the lower door and a wood upper door. Glasses appear to be repainted on old glass (a well detailed naval battle). Dial has been repainted with the maker's name applied. Hands are period and the brass final is old but chimney missing. Despite its shortcomings the clock is very attractive. Height 29" $650-800
