Condition
Illustration is quite accurate, although the gilding is actually a little greener.
Very few wear and stains to the gilding, especially on the outer rims.
Fine and decorative chasing.
Dial has chips around the winding holes but otherwise good.
Movement is complete and looks as though it would run but is much in need of a clean.
With pendulum but no winder.

Catalogue Note
En 1811, Pierre-Basile Lepaute mit fin à son association avec son neveu Jean-Joseph pour s'associer, sous la raison sociale Lepaute & Fils, avec son fils aîné Pierre-Michel, à qui il céda bientôt l'affaire en 1816.
