This is a very clean example with original finish. The gilt and faux finish columns show just the right signs of age. The gilt eagle splat has some cracks in the plaster. There is a chip missing from the left chimney. The original dial has a little paint loss around the mounting holes and the numbers 9, 10 and 3. All three glasses are original with the tablets being exceptionally nice. The hands are original along with weights and pendulum. The label is very clean. About as good as it gets for this time period. Height 36 1/2"
