Dark red marble with decent repair and now with a coat of lacquer, top marble with losses at left and right front corners, figure with restored patination, feet with gold paint, glass with minor scratches, dial with hairlines, movement ticks and strikes, bell replaced, rear mounting/retainer ring a bit small for the opening, will need attention. Although there are some cosmetic issues, the clock is in overall good condition and very impressive. Ht 31"
