This handsome clock will require some sympathetic restoration. The case overall is in good condition considering its age. There are some small veneer losses, see images, and a vertical crack to the base on the far right side.
The movement is very dirty and will require a full service. The hammer arbour back pivot is broken and the hammer arm detached.
The dial is tarnished and the second hand lost.
