Overall in fair condition. No accidents or losses to enamels, but with the usual minor chips to edges of green and red onyx. The side of the clock case which is inlaid with green marble onyx has a vertical crack which will need to be repaired. One can see two vertical red onyx marble slabs; one is now broken and will need to be professionally restored. The bottom front of the clock, made of red onyx, shows cracks from natural veining. This clock will need some restoration to the slab above the two front columns.
