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.

In stable condition and ready to place. The decoration refreshed, particularly to the faux tortoiseshell background, to the borders and the side panels. Some areas of the decoration with touched up restorations, some now slightly discolored. With some minor flaking to the decoration revealing the ground, and some small losses to the edges, like to the hood under the finials. The terms on the left hand corner with some more significant losses. The back of the case has been built up. Possibly with an earlier red ground. The movement appears to be original to the case. With a month long repeat and hour strike. The pendulum and barrel original. The winding key replaced. Presents well overall. Please note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks.
