Condition Report
Overall fine and stable condition.  Retains a gilt and mid - brown patina throughout, with areas of rubbing visible consistent with age and use. Retains a pendulum, but appears to be lacking its winding key. The bronze shows areas of pitting, tarnish, oxidation, and residue, consistent with manufacture, age, and handling. Unsure of the accuracy of the movement and dial. There are few minor cracks to the bronze throughout. Right most putto and scroll elements behind it are slightly loose. Height of candelabra 25 3/4 inches.
