Condition
Good overall condition.
Extremely light surface scratches. Extremely minute wear to the gilt and the enamel décor, consistent with age and use. One of the legs has been replaced, the enamel and gilt are completely worn and have almost disappeared, visible on the catalogue illustration. A few cracks within the face of the clock. Some restoration to the upper elements that seem to have been re-glued Sotheby's does not guarantee the working order of the clock movement.
