拍品的状况可能存在极大差异,而由于其性质使然,拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。
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.
