Sold for £1,050Condition report
The clock is currently running. There are some minor scratches to the dial, the front door does not close flush, there is a chip to the wood on the inside of the back door and a small crack to the top. There is some light sun bleaching. Some small sections of the dentil cornice are missing. The escutcheon is missing form the back door. In our opinion, the front glass may have been replaced but all items are otherwise original to the clock. We are not aware if the clock was running prior to being consigned but has been running since in our care for about 2 days. The clock has been entered from a probate. The clock is otherwise in good condition.
