Movement - has not been removed from case so have not found fifth pillar as would be typical, however engraving of good quality and no additional holes to backplate. Should strike half hours but currently strikes o'clock and twenty to the hour. Pendulum appears to be a replacement.
Case - finials may be associated. Sliver beneath centre finial cracked through. Some veneer cracking to caddy top. Crack to left side and old losses around side fret. Very slight crack to frame around other fret.
No glazing or fretwork to rear door - probably had brass fretwork.
