Condition: Heavy case is in very good condition with most of the original gilding lost. Worn columns and finials were silvered originally. Three original porcelain panels are in very good condition. Panels by Desprez are almost always Jolly revelers in 18th century dress. Movement is marked "A.1", partial name of retailer on dial J. E. Caldwell, Philada. This case will restore nicely. Height 10.75 inches
