Condition
The overall condition of the clock case is good.  The gilt bronze however is rather dull and dirty.  The marble panels in the base are loose, but no breaks were seen.  The clock face glass and bezel are  missing.  It would appear that this clock was not used or worked on since it was purchased at another auction house in 1994,  The bell was not attached, but rather lying in the bottom of the interior.  We have the pendulum and the key.Condition reports are available upon request.
