The marble base is in very good condition with no major losses or damage. The spelter figure has a nice patina, but may have one reconstructed pinky finger. If the figure was once holding something in its right hand, it is now gone. The dial, hands, and convex glass are in excellent condition The finish on the fluted pedestal is worn and uneven. Two of the feet have cracks on the underside where they mount to the marble. The unsigned movement ticks, but was not tested long term.
