It's lovely! What about some hooks on each side and use as a coat rack?
Open shelving for art, with lights; bookshelves with old and new books; spiff up the cabinet and replace the works with a battery operated clock that fits the face.
Why not sell it as is (in need of repair) Or Leave the face and convert to Battery or just convert to Book or Ornament Cabinet........Add Shelves
We had a wonderful (non-working) very old grandfather's clock. It had a pendulum. My dad antiqued the outside to make it look nicer! haha! Which it did. He fixed the pendulum to the inside face of the clock to be permanent. Then he put in four shelves inside the open case and made it a liquor cabinet. It was wonderful! Very shabby chic before it's time. Wish I had a photo.
Turn it into a curio cabinet with glass shelves?
Buy a cheap battery operated kitchen clock the same diameter as the original clock face. Remove as much of the guts necessary to make room for the new clock. Leave the pullys and chains. You'll have a clock again.
