The rosewood veneered case is in very nice condition with just a couple of very minor veneer chips The brass bezel is a replacement, and does not fill the original hinge space to the right. The original painted dial is flaked in places, and the Maranville patent information is nearly all worn off; we would suggest professional restoration at this point (Martha Smallwood has the stencils for this dial). The hands, English motif tablet (unicorn and lion), and the carved side ears are original. There is a nice label inside the case. Height 24.5 inches
