This large rosewood veneered case is in nice condition, and was refinished to a nice mellow finish, some time ago. The original upper dial has developed some age cracks and the lower 12 inch dial has a few minor paint flakes (these are minor criticisms, considering the age of the clock). The hands are original. Someone has cut out two square sections at both top corners of the backboard. They probably did this to gain access to the weights so they wouldn't have to take the backboard off; the smaller pieces are held on by separate screws. The glass in the access door to pendulum is a replacement. A large clock; Height 36 inches
