CONDITION REPORT
With a steel key and its pendulum. The clock was probably formerly ebonised? It strikes, ticks and repeats. It might benefit from a service. The case is in overall good condition. There are marks and knocks consistent with age and some slight cracks to veneer in places. It would benefit from a good wax.
