The oak case is in generally good condition with damage on the corners of the top molding and the flat side panels have lifting/bubbling of the veneer. The porcelain dials are signed "Hry Marc". The hands are original. The timepiece is run by a French jeweled balance/lever movement, with a distribution gear in the center to drive all 4 dials. This case is made in Georgian style with cast and gilded caryatids at each corner (8 in all), and with pineapple finials and turned bun feet. The bell at top is decorative. Quite unusual. Height 13.5 inches
