Condition Report

Overall stable, ready to place condition. The clock appears to be running. The pins both take a wind and the hands can be manually advanced. The hammer strikes the chime at the hour and half-hour. Includes a pendulum but no winding key. The majolica details are attractive, with a few minor chips to the edges, typical due to age. There are also a few small areas of repair and overpainting, but they are not immediately noticeable. The enamel face in very good condition, with no cracks or losses noted.
