Condition report
The movement ticks and strikes.  The gilding is original but with some wear.  The upper bevelled glass has some chips and can fall out with the rear door removed.  The bottom section of the case has been fitted back the wrong way around, so that the engraved panel is at the rear.  One double-ended key.
