This clock retains its original metal face and hands. This clock is has a slightly amber color (due to the wood coming through) with grey, light blue, yellow gold highlights and a variety of stylized swag elements on both the head and the body. It also features a keyed door with a glass opening that opens from left to right and a very simple base with feet at each corner. The face features an exposed wood center as well as Roman numerals on the pewter ring, surrounded by angel faces in the four corners.

This clock would be wonderful as a decorative object, however it is not currently in working condition. Upon purchase (and before shipping), a new quartz battery will be added behind the face. The original hands are too heavy to carry the quartz movement, so they would be changed to black hands in a similar in style. The clock would then chime (the chime can be turned off). A pendulum selected to work with the quartz movement would be added.

Please message us if you prefer for this clock not to be quartzed - we can offer a lower price.
