The case with an urn finial above a stepped pediment and four fruit-filled finials, above projecting angles each with a baluster column upright, the front and sides each decorated with polychrome cloisonné panels inset with an oval convex porcelain panel decorated with cherubs, the 4 1/4in enamel dial with paste-set bezel and convex glass, with twin train drum-shaped movement striking on a bell

CONDITION REPORT
With pendulum. The clock is in good condition. There is no damage to the porcelain panels or the enamel dial. The lacquer to the brass case work is tarnished in areas, mainly to the upper elements. Some wear to gilding and engrained dirt. The movement appears clean and has oil in the sink holes, so should be capable of functioning, although not tested. It might benefit from a service.
