This is a large and attractive clock, and the shell and brass inlay are in quite good condition. The well made rectangular movement strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Note the attaching stem of one of the top finials got twisted off and it is just setting there for the foto (minor repair), and the tip of the hour hand is missing. The dial is cast with a frieze in the center, and the minutes engraved around the circumference; all 12 cartouches are good, and with the Roman numerals applied in cobalt blue. Runs and strikes. Height 25"
