The sides of the hood have carved wooden open fretwork in a gothic style back by cloth in order to allow the chimes to be better heard within the room. The case rests on stepped block wooden feet. Below is the base section with a horizontally aligned burl walnut panel with concave cut corners and the base panel is flanked by vertically placed burl panels with concave cut corners. The columns have wooden capitals and bases and ends at the base of the door.
The three quarter length door is flanked by half reeded columns to either side (these are reeded and not fluted). The door is divided into two parts: the smaller arched upper glass overlies the dial while the larger section of rectilinear beveled glass allows one to view the chiming tubes, the descent of the three brass canister weights and the arc of the pendulum as it swings inside the case. An arched cornice at the base of the tympanum is above the arched glazed dial door. The tympanum has a shaped panel of burl type wood, likely burl walnut applied and following the general shape of the tympanum. The arch terminals have applied wooden pinwheels.
