Condition Report:
1 case key. 1 pendulum.
The clock is in good original condition. The movement appears to have been recently cleaned and the wire gut lines replaced. It strikes and ticks. The painted dial is unrestored, overall craqueleur and some chips and wear. Case has been repolished at some point and has some veneer chips repaired, see additional images.
