Retain original bracket feet, has lambs tongues on the base and trunk. Inlay on the hood is above the dial on each side of the arch; leaves and flowers. The case been refinished, and could have used a little more stain before the finish was applied. The movement is southern NJ, with a step out of the bottom of both plates. It features a moon dial and a sweep simple calendar hand, but the calendar gear & hand are missing; wooden pulleys are proper and original. The dial has some touch up at 2:30 and other minor losses, but is quite good for its age.
