Condition report

There are a few light scratches to the dial with some touching up (there is overpainting in the detail). The movement is original but very dirty and will require a service. The case has a very flat finish to the polish and will require a re-colour. There is a crack to the carcass at the top right hand corner above the door. The glass is loose to the hood. The pendulum has been broken into 2 pieces and requires a new hanger. There are no weights. This lot has been privately consigned. Overall, the lot is in good condition although it requires light restoration.
