Groop,
 
I just did an inspection for a client that needs a quote for replacement

and repair/conservation of this spectacular clock and a circa date?
 
I hope some of the conservation experts including Don can help

me with this. Attached are the photos.  The Hood of the clock

could not be placed on top because it would not fit in an 8' ceiling.
 
A tree fell thru the roof and a limb landed on the hood of the clock

Sheet rock fell against the two fretworked (solid mahogany) sides of

the hood cracking it in many places, with some pieces missing.  The small

crown molding was also broke with 2 minor chips, and some scratches

on the hood from the limb. No structural damage to the case.
 
The base is inlaid.
 
Thanks in advance,
RickB.
