The case is 11.5" tall, semi tambour style, 6" bowed porcelain dial, and original hands. Small chips repaired around the slow/fast arbor. Bowed and beveled glass in the brass sash. Note the stain or tarnish along the lower mat and upper part of the base. I bought some Brasso to see if it would remove the stain. It will, but will take some rubbing. You may know of a better cleaner that is better. It would be a good looking clock once it is polished. Brass hinged back door, standing gong, a round 8 day movement, and a correct pendulum. The movement is signed, "H and H / Made In France / Vincenti and Cie".
