The case has been refinished, and the tablet is a careful restoration by gluing a hand painted water color scene to the glass and adding border. There are a couple of veneer chips along the top edge and one chip on the bottom. The top glass is cracked in one corner. There is a repair to the base of the one of the pineapple finials. The label is dark but readable. The primitive feet are well carved replacements. Dial is warped and front door will not latch due to the warp. Despite its problems, a rare clock. Height 36"
