  • clock height 10 1/4 in.

Condition

Overall in good condition and presentation. Bronze shows some areas of discoloration and oxidation consistent with age and atmospheric conditions, and would benefit from a light cleaning. The enamel is in very good condition, with no chips cracks or losses. The movement does not appear functional and would likely need attention from a professional horologist, no winding key present.
