Condition: Somewhere along the line, this clock has received a new mahogany back and glue blocks (in lieu of the original pine). The gilding on the bottom door, throat door, finial and bracket is original with wear and loss. The bracket is missing a ball. The period dial looks to have its original base paint but the numbering has been redone. Tablets are old, but cracked and poorly restored. Movement is held in the case with a center screw through the backplate. Height 40 inches [101.6 cm]
