Condition report

With 12in brass pendulum.  The movement appears to have been ‘dipped’ when last cleaned and is now tarnsihed.  The dial is worn and requires restoration.   The case requires careful sympathetic restoration.  The drop front panel has a screw hole in its centre.  Veneer chips to the left side and to the underside.  A piece of fillet from the underside door is lost.  Some old white paint.  Some chips to the fillet overhang of the side door.  There is no key or case key.
