There are some very minor losses to the metal rods behind the clock.
There are some very minor signs of tarnishing to the gilding.
There are some very minor chips, scratches, and minor losses to the enamel.
Please note that this condition report has been written from a work of art and not a time-measuring object point of view. Therefore this lot has to be checked by a professional clock-maker.
