Condition: Cast brass case is attractively polished. The lacquer coating to protect from tarnish has failed in a couple places and as a result tarnish has developed. The two back columns currently have a round base, replacing lost square bases which could be made (little position holes confirm the change). Very top molding has been assembled up-side down. Pendulum is original. This clock also has a handmade glass case. The porcelain dial is damaged at numeral 4 and with poor repair. Ht 17" [43.1 cm]
