Condition report

Two brass-cased weights and a crank key.  Wood-rod pendulum with brass  bob.  The movement requires a clean and full service.  The dial paint appears original, the signature is visible faintly.  The case is overall of a pleasing colour and in good condition, some marks and knocks consistent with age.  A small ebonised fillet is chipped and loose from just under the hood at the top centre of  the trunk.  Another piece is chipped and lost to the right corner.
