The cornice is complete and the original ball feet are intact. The mirror in the upper door is new (the original glass was puttied in, so probably had a reverse painted scene). The lower door's reverse painted tablet has Henry Longfellow's home and has some loss, but is restorable. The movement and hands are original and the painted wood dial is in superb, original condition. The pendulum bob is new. Height 36.5 inches
