the elaborate case has no serious losses or damage, and the well-carved female figures and top eagle (repaired at head) retain their gilding. Fancy cast brass ornaments, pendulum and bezel are fine. The porcelain dial also is good, but the calendar pointer is absent. The three-spring movement, with thread suspension, strikes bells on the quarters. Ht 19"
