Condition Report:
1 case key. 1 pendulum locked to the movement.
The clock is in good original unrestored condition. The enamel dial is not restored, some slight chips to right winding aperture and a very small chip to outer edge at XII o’clock. Two cracks to the front panel at around IX o’clock. Some chips and losses to mouldings in places, see extra images. The movement appears in good order but not cleaned in a while so will require a service.
