Recently purchased a home with a lot of antique furniture (will post pictures for those interested) including this clock. It is in great working order and in beautiful shape. I found the paperwork from the import company (imported from the Netherlands) inside the bottom of the case. I sent a quick video and a bunch of pictures to a local antique clock dealer who gave me a "low end" number of $6500!!! I sure would appreciate any confirmation or denial of his estimate.Anyway, enough babbling, here are some pics...... image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

Thank you for the welcome, I posted a picture of the back of the mechanism with the model number, it is UW03034B (could be an 8). The serial number is on the photo as well but harder to see, it is 422164. It is about 6.5 feet tall. Possibly 7 to the top of the arch on top.

I do note you have a rectangle movement with a serial number (03034) that is considered 'old' by "Clockworks".
Good luck; it's a beautiful clock.

Right on. I'll call them in the morning. I appreciate the help. The import papers were my first clue that it was old. The brown color of the paper along with its "crispness". Also, every single company listed as "places to service your clock in the US" are closed or out of business.
