Condition

Illustration is not accurate any more. Old vanish has been taken out from the Buddha and giltbronze have been slightly cleaned up, revealing the beautiful Louis XV chasing. As expected, a few losses to the porcelain flowers. The porcelain Buddha with old hairline cracks and an old split, now restored. The dial and the mecanism probably replaced. Large size, highly decorative.
