Examination of the case found age cracks (proper right: hood and case), (proper left: hood and case), and (center: case above door). Further there is a minor loss of dentil molding on the cornice. The tall case clock has been refinished. Missing key. We would recommend seeking advice of conservator to determine whether clock is in running condition.
