With its pendulum. The enamel dial is chipped and has been filled and painted over on these areas. The movement will require a service. The case was probably darker. The top, sides and front have been cleaned and repolished. The back retains its original colour and surface. There is a repair to the veneer below the lock escutcheon, some cracks to the front and a ripple to the veneer on the arch. The back door has cracks to the veneer.
