Condition report: 

The glazed door to the hood with a crack running across. 

Various elements to the hood loose, including two urn finials and bird with chips and broken off wings. the figure is also missing arms which are contained within the bag of parts. 

Two weights probably associated, a pendulum and a pendulum head.  Winding key. 

The movement will need need to be thoroughly serviced and there is absolutely no guarantee of its working order. 

Otherwise the case with the usual inevitable scuffs, scratches, dents, small chips and marks commensurate with wear, use and age.

Please see extra images of the clock face detailing the maker's name. 

The minute hand is broken off and the windmill is later painted and probably reattached with a later screw thread. 

Please see images of the clock movement, which is unsigned.
