There are roses and bows on the front of the case and swags of roses between the ornate feet. The clock is a wind up style and works, has a mechanis to slow or speed up the time, the little knob to change the time on the hands is missing, you could use a small pair of jewely pliers to turn it.

A little bit of history on Precista:
Precista is mainly known for making watches during WWII 1940's and 50's in England. The company never filed for a Trademark and there are few business records left. But there have been records of the sale of Precista watches in estate sales dating back to 1910 & 1915.
Chairish sells clocks only with display as the intended use. The mechanical elements are not guaranteed to be in working order by Chairish.
