This rosewood example has had some restoration. The top finials and drops below are replacements (and not the correct profile). The top moldings on the rigHeight side have a little damage. The original dial has a little flaking and the original front glass is now clear. There is an age crack in the backboard. The moldings and door frame were originally grain painted, but are now gone when someone stripped the case. The gilt moldings on the case sides have been gold painted. The glass pendulum is extra nice. Would be $1000 if original. Height 24Ó $425-$525
