CONDITION REPORT
The case has lost some of its ebonising and the fruitwood shows through in places.  Some veneers are ‘dry’ and cracked; two pieces of veneer from below the dial are loose.  There is a filled hole to the left side of the case.  The key holes are rather worn with wear.  Some joints have opened up with a small crack, due again to dryness.  Right-hand side glass panel is loose.  The case will require some sympathetic restoration.   Movement will require a clean and service.  The bracket is a recent reproduction.  One broken winding key and a case key. There is only one winding hole which is not worn.
