In overall good, stable condition. Old scuffs, marks and scratches throughout consistent with age and use. The decoration shows age but likely refreshed in some area;s, particularly to side of clock. The works and seat boards display similar age and wear patterns suggesting works have been with case for most of their history. The top of hoot above the finials rebuilt but stylistically consistenf for the era. Finials are replaced. Works appear intact and take a wind an run with the bell striking on the hour. The pendulum screw and nut at base that holds the pendulum weight in place has sheared off into the pendulum stem and would need to be restored before use but the pendulum weight does stick onto stem for brief usage.
