The Donald F. Moylan, M.D. Collection of American Furniture, Folk & Decorative Arts, Part I

The clock winds, runs and chimes, though it does not run for long, likely due to needing to be properly balanced and it will likely need some attention from a clock restorer to get running optimally. Craquelure and areas of loss to the enameled numerals. Rubbing and light tarnish to the brass. There is a weld seam visible along the dial’s squared back plate, approximately 3/4” from the bottom of the panel.  The pendulum is likely a later conversion. Set on a later bracket. 

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
