It has a pressed metal dial and pendulum, both with various designs imprinted. The brass movement is signed, "GB / Silesia", which is modern day Poland. The walnut case is about 41" tall, very elaborately made with numerous turnings, applied ornaments, grooved designs, and various styles of moldings. There are three glasses in the upper section and one in the lower hinged and latching door. The upper door is also hinged and latches. The brass dial has applied brass ornaments on the four corners and in the arch. Silver dial ring, original hands, and a cast inner dial that matches the pendulum and dial plate. The movement is running and striking properly. Becker clocks are always top shelf and well made.
