CONDITION REPORT
With pendulum and two cast-iron weights. The case is in good condition and appears to have been re-waxed recently. A small moulding is loose just to the underside of the hood on the left side. The seconds hand is missing. The movement appears to have been cleaned fairly recently and should be capable of functioning, although not tested. The width of the dial is 33.5cm, the height of the dial is 48cm and the arch is 28cm wide.
