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。
The ormolu overall with rubbing, oxidation, light pitting and some tarnish, consistent with age; the patinated bronze with minor verdigris at recessed areas, not extensive; the dial with some minor hairline cracks and some minor chips, mostly around winding holes, not extensive; the movement with weighted pendulum and winding key; the mirrored windows with minor foxing and some loss of silvering; the right mirrored window pane cracked and with some losses; the central mount on central doors off and retained, with glue residue at doors; the inner left curtain with 1 swag broken off and retained, previously repaired; the reverse with tape securing outer panels; overall in good condition, ormolu of lovely quality, creative composition. Please note, Christie's does not guarantee the working condition of clocks.
