This clock retains its original gold decorations on the case and upper door glass. The tablet is original with some flaking, an unusual pattern with building in the center, flanked by roses. The movement is properly signed. The case has a couple of tiny veneer chips on the base, and one on top. The original dial has some minor paint loss around the mounting screws; label is sharp and legible The hands are a replacement of the appropriate type. Height 15 1/4"
