Dial and movement appears to have been cleaned.It appears to have originally been black, rather than a deep red or green. The case is structurally in a good order. There are losses/flaking sections to the lacquer. The seat board and case do not show obvious signs of adjustment, such as additional timbers, which suggests they may be original.
