European Furniture and Decorative Arts

The case likely 18th century, but the decoration is later. Old scuffs, marks, and scrapes throughout consistent with use. The dial with polish residue throughout. Works and case associated. Does not include pendulum, but has weights and crank. Using a replacement pendulum, the clock takes a wind and appears to run, striking on the half and full hour. The case decoration with some flaking, heavier on the proper right front corner of the hood. Drill holes to back of case from prior placements. Lacking base panel on case. Unsure if weights are original, but the age is consistent with age of case. Key is present for case and lock is functional. Additional images available upon request.
