This is a bright and impressive clock, the malachite panels for dial, both sides, base panels and finial. The gilt bronze Roman numerals are applied directly to the dial panel; note the "V" is newly made to match and a couple have been bent by someone careless. Other than these numeral flaws, this is a very attractive clock, sure to appeal to those who have been to the Hermitage and seen clocks with malachite panels. Round bell strike movement seems clean and running. Height 15 inches
