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.
