Condition
The illustration of the catalog is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks due to age and use.
The gilding is very nice with two tones of gold. The chasing is very nice too. As visible on the illustration, the glass panels are missing under the dial case. The glass of this door is slightly foxxed.
Dial has damage above XII ( only visible when the glass door is open), hour hand clipped. Movement is complete but dirty and not running, needs clean and service. With pendulum and winder.
