Perfect Old World clock. One complaint...we h.ad to move the actual D ring hooks that were placed on the clock for hanging to a lower position. Where they were placed from manufacturer (at top) would have shown when on the wall. After we resolved that it turned out great. The only "metal" on the clock is the top large ring. Believe the rest is faux wood. It is attractive and made a great statement in the room. Well made and substantial.
