CIRCA 1830

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.

An apparently unique and beautiful example. Re-gilt and the ormolu with some rubbing, oxidation and tarnish as expected. The patinated bronze with some rubbing, oxidation and surface dirt. The openwork base slightly bent in areas (not extensive). The urn cover possibly a later replacement. The back feet a later replacement. The automaton clock movement are apparently complete, but currently not functioning. Lacking pendulum, with two winking keys. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks.
