Generally very good original condition. The gilt statue has some losses to gilding that was applied later. It is still quite bright and presents well. There are some minor losses to the alabaster on corners. All of the ormolu trim appears intact. Enamel dial is nearly perfect. The point at the bottom of the pendulum will need to be straightened a little. Beveled glass is missing from the back door of the case.
