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.
Overall good condition, though not in working order. One key and pendulum. The associated base with a section of ormolu molding lacking at the top right side. Several mounts loose. The dial cover and back lacking. The horn off, but retained for reattachment. The gilding with light wear overall, scattered areas of tarnish and verdigris. The pierced grates at the center of each side of a later date. The marble with 'nibbling' to edges, scattered nicks and chips and staining, all consistent with age and use. Please kindly note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks.
