Rosewood veneered case good condition with restoration. It looks like someone has applied a coat of shellac over the original finish that has created an unattractive shine. Some of the veneer on the base has been restored in an attempt to repair earlier veneer damage. Original dial has been repainted. Hands are original. Original tablet with repairs to design by using paint to fill in the missing gold leaf. Dark, but readable label inside the case. Ht 19"
