movement, pulleys, hands, dial, are period [1875] Viennese production, pendulum + weights more recent, case circa 2005. There is a small bit of transit damage on bottom angular moldings where something horizontal was packed against them. Otherwise the case shows good workmanship, typical of hand work in Romania or the Czech Republic. Mov't is slide mounted. A large and impressive clock.
