Description
walnut case with carved acanthus swag trim. This clock has had a hard life; a spike has poked through the rear of the case at the hanger, case stabilizer screws are missing and the impulse plate has been moved down to compensate for a short suspension spring. Someone had it on a rear leaning wall so they even ground off part of the rating nut that was scraping the case and then shimmed the mounting plate out from the back (it is original). Finally, the center dial grommet is missing. But basically the clock is a well made one, with fine Viennese movement and delicate hands. Has key lock door with key, less grommet. The right restorer can improve this to a $3000 clock. Height 54 inches
