Description
It is a well made case of rosewood veneers with real carved ebony trim rather than "molded" buttresses, and with brass inlay in the case back. Each of the ebony buttress supports at the bottom has an eagles head carved into it. The carved crest is also solid ebony. The timepiece movement is actually an old Viennese item, and the black porcelain dial and bezel are correctly made to fit. Has a flat brass pendulum rod and a thin delicate pendulum bob. Interesting 3 spoke pulley. Seems to run OK. Height 30 inches
