Condition: Unfortunately this clock has suffered some indignities over its life. Stripped mahogany veneered case is in generally condition with a couple of small veneer pieces missing, but both doors are replacements and of the wrong style. The top cornice molding is from different clock. All of the glasses are replacements. Original dial has developed cracks in the paint, spalling across, and the in-painted areas have turned dark. Slide mirror in the dial is a replacement. Original strap brass movement is properly marked. Hour hand correct; minute replaced. There are no weights; replacements are available from Timesavers. Ht 36.5" [92.7 cm]
