拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異,而由於其性質使然,拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。
In well maintained condition and ready to place. Overall with nicks, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. The ormolu with some scattered rubbing, wear and tarnish. Some casting flaws; re-gilt. The dial with some small 'nibbles' to the winding holes. One hand detatched but retained. The base with some minor wear, cracking and separation. WITH TWO WINDING KEYS. With pendulum, lacking bell. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks. Variation in tone of metal. Some adhesive metal to the glass. The dial restored.
