Condition

Illustration is not completely accurate. The green horn is too flashy, its colour is actually softer and more turquoise. Giltbronzes have been extensively cleaned up; fine chasing. Nice brass engraving, a little worn in places. Very few cracks and lifts to the horn. Dial in good condition. Movement has later escapement and fixed steel suspension; needs a clean and service. Nice model of imposing look and bright colours.
