There a few veneer chips on the sides of the case and on the lower door; overall a very pretty case with the use of crotch mahogany. The upper glass is original with a tiny crack in the lower corner; two lower glasses are replacements. The clock contains a standard Forestville type movement with 24-hour count wheel. Some loss on dial, lower edge at tie downs. With the proper glasses this could be a great looking clock. Height 36 1/2"
