Description

The dial was professionally refinished around 25 years ago and some of the final coat is coming loose (looks fine, we're just being clear). The rosewood veneer is way above average. This clock uses the large Welch 8-day movement with seconds bit. The rosewood veneer is in excellent condition with no chips nor repairs, and has been lightly over-coated with varnish (looks fine). Height 31.5 inches
