Condition: Refinished mahogany veneered case in good condition with small nicks and repairs to the veneer. Turned wood bezel has had a repair at about 10 o'clock. Period dial looks to be original with some paint loss on the edges and in the middle area. Hands look to be original. Both tablets are replacements (Hull naval scene). The side arms appear to be old replacements as they are rather thick like Chelsea's. The finial is modern. Height 30 inches [76.2 cm]
