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.
This clock is overall good decorative order.
The ormolu with some light surface marks and areas of tarnish, as to be expected with age and use. The base with a minor casting flaw under the bull.
There is a pendulum marked '5633/MF'. There is no key.
The enamel dial with a speckled tone overall. There is wear to the letters to the central section. With a few very short, faint hairline cracks from edges by the '50' and between the '10' and '15', and with minor 'nibbled' chips by the escapement hole.
Christie's recommends that the movement is cleaned and serviced to bring into full working condition. Please note Christie's do not guarantee the working condition, duration or timekeeping of clocks offered for sale.
