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.
Overall good condition and ready to place. The very top of the cascading flower ornament lacking. The ormolu with some minor surface dirt, scratches, verdigris, and rubbing, particulary to high points. The clock movements in good condition. The clock face and glass door in very good condition as well as door to reverse. The marble with scattered surface nicks and scratches, natural inclusions, and minor "nibbling" to edges. The ormolu garlands to left side of marble loose. The collar at the front-most left, toupie foot loose. All three feet at right also loose.
Please kindly note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks.
