The rosewood veneered case has original finish but is showing some areas of wear. The gilt columns also show wear. The unsigned movement is the third period version (see p. 84 of The Clocks of Irenus Atkins). The painted dial is original, but shows wear and fading with paint loss at the screw holes. The hands are original. The original top glass is in nice condition while the original lower glass shows lifting and loss. Ht 16.75".
