Condition Report

Attractive condition with very dusty patina; bronze with dull, slightly dirty patina. The lions on either side of the clock are loose from the base but intact and stable. One candelabrum's lion has had one of its legs repaired with a visible fracture. There is a small chip behind the dial bezel that is not visible unless viewed from above. There is a small chip on the ear of one lion flanking the clock. Two bobeches are missing. The candle cups have wax drips and areas of greenish patina. The dial is in good condition without chips or cracks; the movement appears to be original. The clock winds, runs and strikes when the hands are advanced, but it has not been reviewed by a horologist nor tested for duration or accuracy.
