Overall wear, marks and scratches as expected. We have not had the clock running since it has been with us, but the vendor recalls it does work. Some areas possibly repainted and has been maintained. We do not think the base/dome is original to the clock. Urn on top of the clock is bent/mis-shapen and leaning. Minor chips to the rim of the dome. Chips to the porcelain on the candlesticks. As this is not currently working we would recommend having it serviced.
