The pediment has two filled holes and would have originally had an ormolu mount. There is a small piece of veneer missing from the top left front corner of the case, and there are minor shrinkage splits in the veneer. The mask behind the glazed door has had some repairs. The silvering on the chaptering has been discoloured. The movement is original to the case and the dial, featuring its original verge escapement and striking on the correct hours. The movement is complete, but it isn't ticking, and it is dirty and will require a service.
