Condition
Overall very good condition. With minor surface scratches to the glass face of the clock. Very slight pitting the chrome frame. The metal hands of the clock with a slight bend, but move with ease. The chromed back of the clock mechanism has been sensitively re-chromed. Although Sotheby’s does not guarantee the functionality of the clock mechanism, it does appear functional.
