The shaped mahogany, including the two delicate fluted columns, has a nice old finish with just a few scuffs and scratches and one deeper gouge on the top. The gold plating has darkened a bit but still looks good. No problems with the porcelain dial, simulated mercury pendulum or fancy hands. The front beveled glass is good; the other panels have a few corner chips. The movement, with its jeweled exposed escapement, ticks and strikes but could use cleaning. Ht 12"
