JEAN ROMILLY, PARIS, CIRCA 1750

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.

CASE: Crisply defined details and well chased generally. Surface dirt and tarnishing in areas overall.
DIAL: The enamel with some hairline cracks. With unusual but probably contemporary clips to the edge of the dial/dial plate. The tip of the minute hand has been repaired and the tip of the hour hand is a little mishapen.
MOVEMENT: With later Brocot regulation to the backplate with subsequent adaptation and some vacant holes to the plates. Some re-bushing evident. Probable later bell stand. Later pendulum.
With winding key and a regulation key.
