This case is profusely decorated with flowers, shells and scrolls, and with a bust of Diana above the dial. The case was neglected and then polished and all of the gilding is absent. The porcelain dial was chipped around the winding holes and poorly repaired. Movement runs Ok and strikes on a bell. If you are good at metal finishing, you could make improvements here; an imposing piece; replacement pendulum; height 23'
