Some rubbing to the ebonization. The door formerly with an eschutcheon. Tarnishing to metal work. Scattered loss to the ebonization and cracking to the case as to be expected. Detached, but retained, left side molding to top. Some of the screws replaced to the feet. The backplate with 18th century scrolled engraving to the works. The escapement appears to be original but could be an early replacement.
