CIRCA 1785

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.

With a generally complete, well-maintained appearance. The surfaces throughout with minor scratches, scuffs, nicks, small marks and overall light wear consistent with age and use. The serpent indicator lacking some of its 'gems', a repaired break at the lower half of its body. As noted, with some later alterations to the marble plinth, now with some chips, repairs and restorations, mainly to corners and edges. In overall good condition. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks.
