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。

This very elegant clock is in untouched condition and will clean up nicely.
CASE: The ormolu with some light surface scratching, traces of tarnish and wear consistent with age and use. Some of the ormolu elements loose such as the surmounting arc, trophy and wreath, the left ribbon, a panel at the back of the pediment top, the top gadrooned border and one of the side foliage panel. The marble with surface dirt, minor nibbling to the leading edges and a chip to the left edge halfway of the dial.
DIAL: There are some minor marks, very fine surface scratches and a small chip at 12 o'clock
MOVEMENT: Not currently ticking. Missing the bob of the pendulum.
