You will need an entry way or tall ceiling for this clock, as it is nearly 9 feet tall. The case has been professionally refinished, and alternate moldings stained black / walnut to give it a 3-dimensional look. The incising has been freshly gilded, giving it the strongest Victorian walnut look possible. The one item needing comment is the dial, which has been restored by a good artist with paint rather than porcelain; it looks OK, and the bezel and movement are perfect. Retains original 8-day pinwheel, center sweep movement, grid pendulum with lyre; bob is fine. Running. Height 106 inches
