Condition: the carving on this clock is exceptional, the fur on the rabbit and deer head well executed, and the deer with nice wood antlers and glass eyes. The robust movement has cast plates with lyre pattern. The reed boxes have had the horns attached with some synthetic sealer, bellows all 3 re-covered at different times, and all 3 notes report loudly. The clock ticks OK on the large weights shown, however the trumpeting is hanging up and will need adjustment. Dimension shown does NOT include the weights, just antlers to game pouch. Glue repair to top. Minute hand is loose on shaft. Ht 37.5" [95cm]
