The inlaid dial surround has warped a bit and the fine brass inlay has come loose (could be glued in with some patience). The well made French movement strikes the hours on a coiled wire gong, has been cleaned and seems to run OK. The original painted metal dial has Roman numerals 1-12, and then in small red letters that are a bit faded, numbers 13-24. Of course, the dial, hands, pendulum, movement and gong are all original. Overall an elegant looking clock that will respond to just a little more restoration. Height 19 inches
