The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The wooden case with scattered age and construction cracks as expected. The carving with scattered losses and abrasions (not extensive). Decoration refreshed throughout, most to the swags and now with scattered chips, losses, surface dirt and abrasions. The clock elements possibly associated; the dial now with some chips, mostly around winding holes. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks.
