Condition: Ebonized wood case is in good condition with the cornucopia and floral mountings retaining much of their original gilding. There is some loss of veneer on the rear of the clock. Silvered dial and hands are original; tarnish around edge of dial. Pendulum is home made, a brass retainer soldered the rear of a case medallion (we see French pendulums at Marts that could replace this) Crutch is loose from movement and will need attention.
