The wood on this piece is in perfect condition with damage. The clock appears to be complete. I just got this and it doesn't fit where I want it to go so regrettably I have to sell it. I'm not sure if the clock works since I've literally had this less than 24 hrs. It's amazing! It's mission style from 1880 to 1910. It's measures 80" tall at the top of the clock, 58" wide and the opening for the fire place is 41.5" by 41.5". It's 10.5" deep. It's solid oak but not unmanageable. My husband and I brought it in our house ourselves. The truly unique thing about this piece is that I believe it came out of a monastery, most likely catholic. There are two small crosses as seen in the photos and two characters carved into the oak. Both are of a priest possibly sitting and drinks by from a stein and smoking a cigar. The numerals on the clock ck face are also hand carved. I'm not a religious person nor did I intend to use this as a mantel. I was going to put a book shelf in the fireplace cutout. It has a lot of shelf space for picture, knock knacks or candles. Let me know if your interested!
