**In good condition. The top paper dial appears to be a replacement. No sign of damage or carving losses. There is a small loss to the edge of the paper calendar roll. The finish of the case is original. The two outside finials are old but not original. There is a small piece of trim gone from the very lower edge of the removable bracket at the bottom. Two weights, pendulum and winding/door key present. We are uncertain as to its running condition.
