Condition: the old embossed weights, dial center and pendulum are nice, however the art nouveau pattern on the weights is slightly different. The carved top is from an Austrian night stand, and although attractive on the clock, did not start life there. The well made Becker movement has been re-strung with brass cable. Original rods for quarter and hours strike are intact. In original condition, it would be worth around $1750. Ht 48" [122cm]
