Condition: The black marble/slate case has come corner and edge chips. Although the pendulum is French and from the same period, we do not believe it is original to this clock; still is about the right length and should work Ok after you clean the movement. The turntable is bound up so we could not verify running, but the clock does strike and we imagine the time train will run after cleaning and adjusting. This clock was in a museum display, and has a few year old plaque that states "Mysterious Timepiece, free pendulum". Statue is old and proper for this clock; nice original dial and hands. Height 24 inches
