This is not a bad clock, but the glue joints failed at one time and all of the onyx pieces, have been reglued without first cleaning off the old glue. The seams all line up well in the front, but are a little garish from the rear. It has a high quality timepiece movement, with a small lever platform spanning both plates; runs OK. The porcelain dial has floral wreath trim and is in excellent condition; original moon hands. The case has 8 pieces of chased ormolu trim and 4 turned bonze feet; very attractive. Winds and sets from the rear; this was expensive when new. Height 9 1/2"
