Condition report

There is no key or pendulum with the clock.  We are not able to comment on the movement.

Overall the clock is in good condition.  There is some very slight wear to the gilding on the upper part of the central vase upright.  Some marking to the ormolu surface in places.  The two side vases have been associated and are not an exact match.  The porcelain on these has some ‘jewels’ which is a good feature. Both are in good condition.
