if you'd like one imposing French clock, this one can fill the bill. The original gilding is in outstanding condition, the porcelain enamel dial is excellent, with only minor edge chips near attaching holes [does not show with bezel closed], finely cut and chased hands, and original pendulum. This is a very heavy clock, special shipping suggested. Mov't ticks and strikes, but would benefit from cleaning. 1 or 2 case screws lacking & can be replaced. Ht 21 1/2"
