Condition
Appearing in overall good, stable and ready to place condition. The gilt bronze case with an overall fairly even patina with a few scattered areas of oxidation visible. One finial at the top of the case is possibly an old replacement; visible only upon close inspection. The dial with a minute flake chip just above the numeral twelve and a flake chip resulting from a key strike on both chambers. The clock has thread suspension. The hands can be manually advanced. The proper left chamber takes a wind but the proper right does not and has likely been overwound. Clock is untested for time keeping accuracy or duration and not not been examined by an horologist. Additional images are available upon request.
