Description
Condition: this clock has had a hard life, and will respond to restoration. The door has had the very bottom cross molding replaced, and needs re-doing. The bottom finial is missing. The case has been refinished with spar varnish and will need proper refinishing after the door repair. The vertical strips that support the dial have been replaced, and they were installed around 3/16 too deep, so the dial surround is set deeper into the case than it should be, with the result that the hands seem too far out from the dial. This is relatively easy to correct. Movement needs cleaning, does run OK. Original dial is good, only few flakes. Pendulum dent on side. Would be $3500 if complete and original. Ht [without lower finial] 44.5"
