Condition
In overall stable, attractive condition. The marble base with areas of fill and restoration to cracks on base; restorations do not detract from overall aesthetic unless viewed closely. The bronze figure with rubbing to patina on raised areas. The clock takes a wind and appears to run while striking on the half and full hour. Tape residue to back glass, appears to flake off when rubbed but would require some work to get all removed. While performing condition report, the nut that secures bell to rod fell into base and we were unable to retrieve it; nut remains in base. Additional images available upon request.
