Condition
Overall very good condition. The bronze surfaces with scattered minor surface scratches, abrasions, and minor oxidation consistent with age and gentle handling. The favrile glass is in good condition with some surface soiling concentrated to the contours adjacent to the etched bronze overlay. The proper right side of the clock with some hairline cracks concentrated to the lower portion, stable and not visually detractive. The movement is not guaranteed to run at the time of the cataloguing and was not tested for accuracy of time. This charming clock presents beautifully in person.
