Condition

The illustration of the catalog is accurate. Fair overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks due to age and use. The varnish is extensively chipped throughout. The gilding is tarnished and rubbed. 19th century movement and dial with spurious signature. Dial in good condition. Movement complete but very dirty and needs complete service and overhaul. With pendulum but no winder.
