More Information

This is a high quality clock in need of a complete overhaul as the movement is not currently functioning and neither train will wind, the clock chapter ring has several splits and there are further scratches to the calendar dial, the porcelain panels are generally okay but the bottom right hand cherub panel has a slight hairline crack, there is some gilding missing on the ormolu case. See images for guidance. Personal viewing always advised where possible.
