Condition report
The clock was running prior to consignment and appears in good condition. The dial and bezel are most likely period, and the hands are old. However, the salt box case is a replacement. The movement and its pendulum are likely to be associated, and it sits on a new circular brass plate securing it to the back of the dial. One securing peg (of four) is missing. The reconstruction faithfully creates a most pleasing dial clock which is very decoartive and appealing.
