Property from the Fred and Kay Krehbiel Collection, Part I

With a winding crank and pendulum. The painted decoration on case with surface dirt consistent with age. Some ares refreshed, scattered flaking and loses to painted decoration, some heavier areas of flaking on side of case, would not be visible when viewed from front. The bracket is modern. Finial likely later. The gilt metal floral elements on left side of case detached and not retained (visible in catalogue image). The dial appears largely intact with a few chips and tight hairline cracks to enamel around winding holes from key strikes. Area of heavier chipping at edge of 12:00. The glass on door replaced. Door not properly secured to case, currently held on with coper wire running through hinges. Works appear intact but dusty. Clock takes a wind and appears to run but not tested for accuracy nor duration. Clock attempts to strike on the quarter, half and full hour but does not complete the strike. Likely in need of a tune-up/cleaning prior to being put in use. Additional images available upon request.
