Condition report
With a key and later pendulum.
The velvet covering is dusty and worn in places, with sun fading. One piece, from the right side of the base, is loose. Other pieces with some lifting. The dial is cracked at the III o’clock and again with hairline cracks at the VII o’clock, some slight nibbling to the offset winding holes. An empty small hole at the XII for regulation?
The movement is dirty and requires a service. The pallet cock, suspension and pendulum are replaced and date from the 19th century.
