in generally good and as-found condition, several of the pieces of ormolu are loose on the case (held in place with brass nails); there are some hairlines on the dial, which is signed as in the headline above. Fretted, chased and gilt hour hand is original; gilt minute hand is not chased and is probably an old replacement. The original finish with some restoration and now peeling a bit from neglect, will need attention. Robust movement with rear count wheel has anchor/tic-tac 'scape. Quarters are struck on original 2 bells mounted under top case trim. Ht 33"
