    21″ high x 14″ wide x 6″ deep

    The clock is in very good condition. All glass panels are in mint condition. There is a minor, unnoticeable, repair to the back of the clock where the male figure is seated, which can barley be seen. We cannot guarantee the time-keeping of the clock as we sell our clocks for decorative purposes. This clock can definitely be made to work and keep time by a local clock maker.
