More Information

Some loss of blind fretwork to the hood, pilasters on the hood are possibly later.
Movement appears well maintained but no guarantee of working condition, extensions added to the back board behind the hood, dial has some stains and rubbing, with evidence of small brass patches it may have been later silvered.
Base have the clock appears lighter than the rest of the trunk, and may indicate that it is associated (see image of rear panels)
Other light general wear commensurate with age and use, overall the clock appears in solid condition although there is evidence of alterations and restoration throughout
