Description

The brass case is complete and sound, a couple of panels need tightening. It was perhaps gilded originally, and is now polished to brass. This is a high quality item, certainly a special order or limited production model. Weight approaches one hundred pounds, so ask for help when moving. Chains on the movement are intact, and it ticks and strikes, but may benefit from service before regular use. Ht 28"
