Mahogany veneered case in very nice condition with an old and possibly original finish. Excellent stenciled columns and splat with carved paw feet and pineapple finials. Original painted dial is very nice for its age. Hands are original. Painted tablet is poorly restored on the original glass. This clock originally had a sliding dust cover on the top behind the splat, now missing (easy enough to make from an old case back). Clean label inside case. Height 29.5 inches
