Below the door and also to 3 sides is a cushion shaped moulding over a short plinth with top moulding. The case is mounted upon 4 squashed bun feet.
Dimensions: 9 1/2'' high x 6 1/4'' wide x 5'' deep.
Condition: The movement is in worki

Price: The price is for the clock in its present and working condition. A price and timescale for any work required by the purchaser can be advised upon enquiry.
