Condition

The illustration is accurate. As stated in the catalogue description, the cartel clock and the bracket are both period but associated. The brass and the gilt-bronze mounts are tarnished, especially on the bracket. Some liftings and some losses to the marquetry. The mechanism of the clock looks complete but we do not guaranty the working order of the mechanism.
