Two of the three brass finials are original, and the third is an exact copy, made especially for this clock. The feet are original, with only the thin pads at each corner replaced. Color is a warm, faded saddle brown. The hood door frame is restored. Hour and minute hands are original, with the seconds hand restored.
Weights are brass-cased lead and appear to be original, as does the pendulum.
The seat board under the movement is restored, and dial and movement are original to the case. Eliezer and James Chater followed their father, James, in the clockmaking business in London in the mid 18th century. Eliezer Chater was admitted to the Clockmakers Company in 1751, made a liveryman in 1766, a master in 1772, and died in 1777. His brother James was admitted to the Clockmakers Company in 1753. They practiced together, signing their work with the combined name, from approximately 1760 until well after Eliezer's death, around 1785.
