More Information

The case has been fully restored to a high standard and is of good colour. It has been suggested that the case may be somewhat later than the dial and movement and this may well be the case. The dial is clean. The hands and fingers have original blueing. The clock movement is clean and was working prior to being removed from the vendor's property, however we cannot comment on the fully functioning state of the movement. The skirt and bracket feet are later. The clock has two weights and a pendulum.
