This would be classified excellent, except for the missing rear retainer bezel which has been replaced with a piece of sheet steel, painted black. This is NOT a major problem, but needs to be mentioned. This large clock weighs around 60 pounds, and really has an imposing presence. The well made French movement with L. Marti award stamp, and with serial No.1179 +matching pendulum; retains original polished black marble dial with gilt incising, and original hands. Features on the statue are well chased and attractive, with her seated on a plinth which in turn holds the clock, and with a lion's head to the left. New bolts have been installed to hold the base together, and this has been done properly. Height 26 inches
