More Information

The dial has hair cracks at 12, 1, 2 and 9 o'clock, on the outside edge. At 12 o'clock there is some enamel loss around the adjuster. The clock has its key and pendulum and the bell is intact. There are traces of gilt to the back of the cherub. Elsewhere the ormolu is good and bright and the marble is in good condition, with no losses. We cannot comment on the working condition. The clock is entered from a local deceased estate.
