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.

21¹⁄₂ in. (55 cm.) high, 13 in. (33.5 cm.) wide, 5 in. (13 cm.) deep

In good overall condition. As noted in the cataloguing, the face and hands are late Louis XVI and associated with the Louis XV case. The ormolu with some minor surface scratches, casting flaws, verdigris and rubbing, as to be expected. The glazing over the dial with light scratches, commensurate with age. The dial also with light scratches and hairlines, some chips around the winding holes and perimeter. Some dust to recessed areas, would enhance with a gentle cleaning. Overall good presentation, ready to hang. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks.
