Chicago

with two professionally-made custom crates for shipping. Clock disassembles into three parts for shipping at the hood, shoulder and base. In good, stable condition. Old scuffs, marks and scratches throughout consistent with age and use. The works appear intact and stamped Dufaud-Paris on back of works. Clock takes a wind a chimes on the half and full hour but not tested for accuracy nor duration. Some discoloration to top of enamel dial and cloudiness to glass cover of dial consistent with being in a humid climate. The bronze elements lacquered to prevent tarnishing. The case door is missing its hinges, currently held together with a metal pin in one corner. No case key is present but the lock, which is spring-activated, can be operated using a small rod. The lock plate is stamped "CI LINKE/SERRURERIE/PARIS" to its back side. Some area of dust accumulation and a dirtier patina along gilt bronze elements at shoulder. A few small areas of veneer loss on base above metal feet. Does not detract from overall aesthetic unless viewed closely. Additional images available upon request.
