MID-18TH CENTURY

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 good decorative condition and ready to place. With the expected scattered light nicks, marks and scratches. The horn veneer with scattered cracking and some lifting. The color of the horn on the clock considerably faded; the bracket retains vivid turquoise color. The painted and gilt decoration rubbed and faded throughout. The mounts with some rubbing and scattered light abrasions. The clock face with some scattered scratches and small nicks to edges. With a loss to ‘45’ as can be seen in the lot images. Please note Christie’s does not guarantee the working order of clocks.
