The porcelain dial, with dark blue Roman numerals, is perfect and the hands are original. The access door in the back is missing, but is an easy repair with a piece of sheet brass. The pendulum is the proper type, but is a replacement. The case is surmounted by a large finial with rams heads on each side, holding large acanthus swags in their mouth; large swags repeated below; an especially heavy case. Height 25.75 inches
