the case has lost a few bits of gilt edge quarter molding (3 pieces lacking at the base of the bell shaped top), other minor losses, however this is an exceptionally nice looking clock, worth of some restoration expense. Movement is clean and sound, striking on a gong. Ht 12" including feet and with handle up.
