This clock has been in storage and is a bit dirty; the engine turned dial has suffered a stress fracture. Remainder of the clock is complete and sound, and the gilding appears to be in quite good condition and will clean up OK (use solution, not abrasion nor rubbing to clean). In any case the young Bonapart is setting and resting his elbow on a world map and with his father's books at his side, one a Memorial, the other titled Code Napoleon. For those interested in French history. Height 17"
