Condition Report
The gilding appears overall original, with some areas having lost enough gold and gesso for the wood to be visible, but there are also some small areas of repair and later gold touch-ups. The patina is dusty overall, with normal age cracks, flaking gold and small chips / glue repairs to edges of carved details (minor). The rooster has probably been repaired through fractures in the legs, with some repair to the tail also (minor). The movement winds with some difficulty and is not running. It is probably not the original movement. There is a pendulum but no key.
