The Estate of Devon Hoover

Appearing in overall fairly good and ready to place condition. The marble base with scattered flake chips and areas of negligible roughness along the edges. The back of the case with an old glue repair to a crack in the marble and scattered areas of fill. The gilt mounts appear in good condition with minor rubbing. The wings of one of the figures with old repairs; not visible from the front of the clock and not impacting stability. The globe at the top with dings and dents throughout.

The hands of the clock can be manually advanced and the clock strikes. Both chambers take a wind but there is no winding key. There is a pendulum for the clock. The clock has not been tested for time keeping duration or accuracy and has not been examined by an horologist. Additional images are available upon request.

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.
