Condition Report:
1 case key, 1 pendulum.
The clock is in good original condition. The case has been repolished at some point, probably in the Edwardian era as it has grain filler visible. Some slight chips to enamel dial. There is a blob of white filler ? To the key hole for the bezel. The movement is clean. It strikes and ticks.
