The clock is in unrestored condition. There is a pendulum and key. The dial plate has some filled holes and the bezel mount may be a later 19th century replacement as may be the dial. The suspension block is a later 19th century version.
The width of the clock at its widest point is 32cm, the depth is 13cm. The movement appears original to the case. The clock does not strike the hour, it repeats the hour and quarters.
