15³⁄₄ in. (40.5 cm.) high, 10³⁄₄ in. (27.5 cm.) wide, 8¹⁄₄ in. (21 cm.) deep

In good overall condition. The ormolu with some minor surface scratches, casting flaws, verdigris and rubbing, as to be expected. The pierced ormolu sections to the sides and lower case, and the trelliswork to the back, are slightly bent, as to be expected. The glazing over the dial with light scratches, commensurate with age. The dial also with light scratches and hairlines, some minor chips around the winding holes and perimeter, possibly replaced. Some dust to recessed areas, would enhance with a gentle cleaning. The fabric lining to the interior is later. The lower hinge at the backdoor is lacking much of its pin. The are some faint letters on back of bezel, spelling '??TARD'. The movement apparently original, but lacking some elements. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks. Overall good presentation, ready to place.
