fourth quarter 19th century, the case attributed to R. J. Horner, New York, and the movement bearing the "Tiffany & Co." retailer's label, the hood and case of bombe form with carved winged griffins with lion's heads, spray of floral vines and raised on carved paw feet, the movement with a rotating moon dial and quarter chiming Westminster or Whittington, the tubes engraved "Walter H.

h. 106-1/2", w. 27", d. 18"

In "as found" condition. There are small chips and losses to the carved molding under the hood. The lion on the left side of the case has small carving losses around its mouth. There are two sections of the beaded molding gone to the front of the case below the hood. The very lower molding which runs between the front and back leg is off but present on the right side. The silvering on the face is tarnished and has overall wear from polishing. The moon dial has minor paint chips. The three weights, pendulum, and tubes showing oxidation. The iron racks which hold the tubes were not installed upon receipt. We installed them temporarily in order to take photos. They may not be in the exact correct locations. Lacking a winding key. We are uncertain as to its overall running condition. The movement appears to be unmarked.
