Dial has brass hands which are modern replacements. The moon phase dial seems mostly original but with some later embellished areas. The maps of the hemispheres have been redecorated in the 20th century. Faint cracking in the enamel of the dial with some overpainting. The clock winds and ticks but does not strike when hands are advanced manually. The case and hood in good condition overall with normal wear from age and handling. The base with a filled age crack in its center and several small areas of missing veneer on the edge. The case key does not engage the lock. Additional images are available upon request.
