Condition
Overall very good condition. The oak surfaces throughout appear to retain their original rich dark finish, which present with some occasional extremely minor surface scratches, abrasions, and edge wear with some small associated losses, consistent with age and gentle use. The proper left front vertical post with some extremely minor hairline age cracks inherent to the natural aging of the wood. The clock face with scattered very minor surface scratches concentrated mostly to the numbers and with some wear to the finish on the hands. The glass with some inherent air bubbles visible in the catalogue illustration. The leading with some minor oxidation consistent with age and some occasional minor bending to the cames. The pendulum with some light wear. With the original winding key. Functionality of the movement is not guaranteed and may require service at the buyer's discretion. A highly architectural design by Stickley.
