This clock is a short duration (2-day) timepiece, with standing barrel fixed to the backplate, and with front wind through the dial. The dial is brass, hand painted with scrolls and swirls. The crude case of walnut and rosewood, has a slide out dust cover on the rear. The 4 feet are now small poplar drawer pulls, stained; door glass is cracked and glued. An early and interesting piece. Height 10'
