More Information
This clock requires a certain amount of restoration. The dial is discoloured and worn and has drill holes in each corner within the spandrels. We cannot guarantee the working condition of the movement, see special conditions regarding clocks and watches.
As we said, the case needs some attention, particularly around the base where there is missing elements including blind fretwork and even a hole on the back edge. A small number of woodworm flight holes visible in the case. There are no feet. The clock face door is currently detached as is one of the columns from the side of the hood.
In short, a quality clock but has seen better days.
