Case in overall good, stable, complete condition having fairly even, older finish with some light to moderate surface scratches and wear consistent with age. Bottom of trunk with tight age split. Having pendulum and single chain pull driven weight. Glass to hood possibly replaced but intact without cracks or losses. Dial with fairly even, dirty patina. Works appear to be intact. Works sitting on three-part ears (please see images) suggesting possible older adaptation. Clock seems to run for a short while then stop. Works likely need cleaning/oiling. Strikes on the hour. Updated information: Only having one weight, the other lacking. Top appears to be missing finials or a crest, as there are dowel openings at each corner.

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.
