Condition
In as found condition. The white marble clock case has stains and a repaired crack at the lower right rear corner, all consistent with age. The rear access door to the clock is missing.

The stand is composed of antique elements and the vertical marble back panel is currently unattached; this back panel was secured with epoxy or liquid nails, and the clock was also glued down. It cannot be moved in one piece.
