Condition Report
Appearing in overall good, stable and ready to place condition. The bronze has an attractive dark brown patina.
The case has one small section of restoration/ fill to the marble on the top edge of the proper left side. There are a few areas of negligible roughness to the marble, not noticeable and a few surface scratches. All four feet are intact and the clock is very stable.
The hands can be manually advanced and the clock strikes. The clock has its pendulum but is lacking a winding key. When wound, the right chamber takes a wind but the left chamber does not. This clock has not been examined by an horologist for time keeping or accuracy.
