in dore bronze. This clock is complete and sound and the movement is running well, but the case has been gone over with some steel wool at one time and taken much of the gold off, one gilt trim is missing from the rear of the top (not too noticeable). The porcelain dial has a repair at the time winding hole, and another above the numeral 1. The "wreath" silk pendulum is a replacement; it would likely have been a sunburst. Still, the clock nearly 2 centuries old and is quite majestic. Height 16"
