There are a few small losses to the base edges on the urn garnitures, and to the edges of the columns along the bronze mounts. The screws on one of the urn handles and one of the columns are loose. The lion atop the clock exhibits well-integrated "touch-up" gilding. Bronze elements exhibit light oxidation and accretions. The pendulum has mercury and moves freely. Clock winds, and mechanism are all present, but working order is unknown. The brass knob on the back door of the glass case is detached. Inside the back of the case behind the pendulum is a small spherical brass plaque with the inscription "Medaille d' Or (Gold Medal)/Paris, 1900/ Samuel Marti." Marti was one of the most prestigious Parisian clock makers during the second half of the 19th century.
