The mahogany veneer is pretty good with loss on the base and a small piece missing on the side. The gilt work on the columns is in good condition with general wear and loss. The gesso eagle splat has been repaired on one wing and the head has been replaced (with plaster like substance) where it had broken off. The gilt feet are now gold painted. All three glasses are original and with the geometric glasses being especially nice. The painted metal dial is very clean with some minor pint loss in the center and at the mounting pins. The case houses a standard strap-brass roller pinion movement Height 36.5 inches
