Condition

Overall in good original condition. With minor losses to the enamel and surface scratches along the legs of the clock as seen in the catalogue illustration. The clock face with a minor surface scratch to the face, as seen in the catalogue illustration. With some minor rubbing to the painted elements of the clock, and a few small and minor edge chips to the top portion of the green portion of the clock body (also visible in the catalogue illsutration). A very nice example of the form in original condition. Sotheby's does not guarantee the function of the clock works.
