Condition report:
The clock is structurally sound.
Wear to the gilding.
Inevitable scuffs, scratches, dents, small chips and marks commensurate with wear, use and age. Front left bottom corner with a repair, otherwise small nick to the chips and small hairline crack to one side, top left back corner,, as to be expected. Some slight discolouration to the slate on this side, as well, also commensurate with age. Please see additional images.
Please see extra images of the movement. There is a winding key. Presently the clock is not functioning and has not been fully wound. The movement is capable of working but will need to be examined by a qualified clock specialist and serviced. We can not offer a guarantee of its working order.
