The black ebonized case is in very good condition with just a little paint loss on the left side of the base. The original painted dial is in very nice condition. There is wear to the gilt incised lines on the case (gold accent is weak). The tablet is original and is the same design as shown in Tran Du Ly's Ansonia clocks book, page 435, bird, butterfly & scythe (minor touch-up of the gold). The hands are original. There is a nice signed Ansonia round plate movement in the case. There is a good label on the back of the case; pendulum hangs to right of center as designed. Height 10.5 inches
