In good overall condition. The ormolu with some minor surface scratches, casting flaws, verdigris and rubbing, as to be expected, the surface regilt. 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. The ormolu trellis-work to the sides of the case is lightly bent, as to be expected. Some dust to recessed areas, would enhance with a gentle cleaning. Presumably lacking glazing or further trellis over the window beneath the dial. Possibly originally with a bracket. Overall good presentation, ready to place. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks.
