Condition report
In good overall condition. The clock ticks and chimes, though some of the hammers could be gently adjusted. The movement would perhaps benefit from a service. The pendulum locking bracket has been lost. The dial has some marking on the numerals and scratching to the metal around the X & XI o’clock. With its pendulum and a key.
