Description

part of the floral trim [left leaf+grapes] is now absent from the base; perhaps you can copy what is on the other side. Mov't has been cleaned, but is at rest with the hammer in the air, and so occasionally is lazy when striking. Numerals have been touched up and not perfect. Pend wire is old; bob is a recent clock gear. Ht 17.5"
