The case has been painted black on the slate portions; onyx are natural and OK. A little gilt has been applied to the incising. Part of the painted numerals are missing from the dial. The well made French movement strikes the hours and halves on a gong. The pendulum has been replaced with a wire and an American bob (proper replacements are available from Timesavers). The dial center was damaged and has had green velour placed over the damage. The panels on the clock are extra thick and it is extremely heavy. Will respond to some TLC. Height 16.5 inches
