overall very good original condition, the oil on wood painting with some cracks and minor touch up. There is a lever on the right side of the clock for starting the pendulum if it has wound down. This ran 2 days here, and may go for 3, however typically these are 2 day clocks. The wooden slide out cover for the rear is original. Pull 3 large strings at bottom for winding, the 4th if for full quarter repeating. Width = 34" ht = 25"
