More Information

The ormolu case is bright and the matte cherubs at the front contrast nicely against the shiny background. The porcelain dial is good and we cannot see any chips around the winding holes. Elsewhere the porcelain panels are also good with no cracks found. The clock has bell and pendulum. We cannot comment on the working nature of the clock. The clock has been entered from a local deceased estate.
