The marble on all 3 pieces has edge abrasion, especially along the bottom edge, but is generally good; all of the pieces on the 2-color columns are intact. The bronze urns each have a medallion with a woman's face showing, bunches of grapes drop from the base of the urn, some missing. The well made French movement with open Brocot escapement on the dial. The porcelain dial is excellent except for 2 small hairlines near 6. Strikes the hours on a bell. Height 30.5 inches
