Condition: the cut out brass on the TOP is totally loose and needs adhesive; the left side of the case has a dry split that needs glue/adjustment. Rt front ormolu foot is bent; top brass urn is loose. The well made Japy count wheel movement is clean and appears to be running and striking OK; pendulum is a tad long but easy enough to shorten. Great cast brass dial with individual cartouche numerals. Just minor work will improve this clock significantly. Height 15.5 inches
