Condition report:

A charming the piece. The case of slim proportions.  In good condition, marks and knocks consistent with age.  Some old repairs in places.  The movement is dirty and dusty.  Dial spandrels worn through polishing.  Movement will require conservation.  The back feet and back finials have been partially removed to allow fitting to the case.  With a brass cased weight.
