Condition
In overall good and stable condition, having areas of thick grime and deposit to the bronze creating a darkened appearance to the gilt., dust elsewhere to the surfaces. Surface marks and scratches to blue porcelain. The clock has not be examined by an horologist but appears to be in working order (the hands manually progress and the clock chimes at the half hour and hour; the pendulum is present, appears to hold a steady pace and keep time, the bell also present; lacking a winding key). The lion head mounts on each component slightly loose in their settings but remain intact. The urn form of the clock also slightly wobbly in its setting.
