The 74 cm high brass case is adorned with numerous Gründerzeit-style decorative elements, such as sphinxes, acanthus leaves, egg-and-dart mouldings, etc.; the movement, with its cartouche dial, is mounted in the centre, with the thermometer above it (the enamel on the scale is damaged at both fixing points), whilst an aneroid barometer forms the lower edge. The case has been completely dismantled and cleaned. The large dial with 12 enamel cartouches (in black) is in good condition; the bezel is fitted with a faceted glass. The movement (fully overhauled – all parts derusted, pivots polished, worn bearings replaced, anchors reground and polished, escapement readjusted, springs checked for cracks and replaced where necessary, expertly oiled with special lubricants)) runs for approximately 14 days; it strikes the half and full hours on a bell; it is marked: A.D.
