the gilding on dial plate is original, however the case ornaments have been electro-plated in restoration and are a bit on the bright side. The mahogany case retains original finish in very good condition, only minor nicks in a couple of places. The movement was professionally cleaned recently and is in good running / chiming order. Impressive. Ht 26"
