Description
Missing minute hand. Wants to run for a bit then stops. Selling as non-working. The bottom glass shows a naval battle between Constitution and Guerriere, with various officer's names involved painted within the scroll border. The bottom clock glass does have some paint lifting, yet remains in very good condition. The bottom glass pictures a dueling ship scene with lots of gold work. The throat glass is signed "WILLARD'S PATENT" and features gold and red fancy scroll work using some of the colors shown within the bottom glass. The original gilt wood work is in excellent condition throughout, with age appropriate wear. Some of the balls have very small amounts of gesso and gilt that has flaked off.
