mahogany veneer case is good with some small veneer chips on the base and on the back edge. There is a little loss at the back edge of the peak. Cone finials, while nicely done, appear to be replacements, stained to match old finish. Original painted dial has a fair amount of loss and would need attention or left as is. Hour hand is original. Minute is a replacement. Tablet is original. Movement is signed. Very clean label inside case. Ht 20".
