the case has been refinished and there is a chip in veneer below left side of broken arch and near the trunk door escutcheon. There is veneer lifting below the trunk door. The pendulum is a replacement and the weights are period but mismatched. The bridge that holds the suspension on the pendulum is bent and will need to be straightened. The hands and finials are replacements.
