the rosewood and grained case has been refinished and the molded top trim is new. Early pendulum is brass both sides; note bob is perfect, but lacquer has crystallized producing an odd foto. Movement has been cleaned and running dial excellent, good signature. Has old glass with grains and fish eyes. For similar clocks, see Kaltenb/dcks book titled "Viennese Timepieces", page 212. Ht 37"
