(1) The push-to-set movement with seconds hand is a recent replacement. The marble is in good condition, though looks as though it was repaired at the center. Dial, hands, and gilt mounts are in good condition. Movement ticks and set, but was not tested long term; (2) Heavy brass case with nice patina. The eagle is probably a later addition. Movement is likely a replacement. Movement ticks and sets, but was not tested long term. Dimensions are for the lyre form clock. Sold "as is".
