the case retains an old finish with a small veneer chip on the upper left corner molding and a veneer piece missing on right rear return molding. The original bone door knobs are present. The dial has been lightly clear coated and the paint on lower tablet is absent. Most had a mirror or wood panel in the bottom door, which would be an easy restoration. For reference please see page 46 in Phillip Gregory's and Robert King's "The Clocks of Iraneus Atkins." Ht 17 1/2"
