some losses, including replaced pendulum. This is a very well made clock, the large round movement with silk suspension and count wheel striking (note delicate petal shape to spokes of the count wheel). The porcelain dial has some minor perimeter chips that do not show when the bezel is closed; there have been no repairs to this nice dial which retains original signature. The original pierced and gilt hands are wonderful. Note the left side of the clock still has its drapery chain and small acorn and tassel drops; on the right side these are absent (you'll need 5 drops). Movement appears clean and running. Height 19 inches
