Condition report
In good overall condition. The movement appears to have been cleaned fairly recently. The dial silvering is not worn. Side and base door hinges are modern replacements. The oak fillets to each panel appear to have been replaced. There is no winding key. The shape of the arched top and apron on the salt box are usual. Whilst the oak of the box is old, is this possibly a replacement?
