Slightly larger than the standard pattern, the case is approximately 400mm wide x 255mm wide x 245mm high with a chart drawer mounted on brass bun feet & & glazed all round with thick beveled glass. The movement (of standard form & uses typical charts) is finished in a deep lacquer & totally original.
