Condition
Overall fine condition, showing wear commensurate with age and use. Refinished surface. The suspension spring at the top of the pendulum has broken and is detached, but retained. Discoloration, craquelure and some losses to the dial and moonphase. The works appear to be original to the case. The fretwork is replaced. There is a 1" x 1" patch to the arched door of the hood, just above the flower inlay on the proper left side of the arch. There is a 1/2" x 4" crack that has been reglued to the proper right vertical panel of the arched door of the hood. (additional images available upon request)
