Connoisseur and Collector: A Chicago Residence

Clock accepts winding and appears to run but does not strike. No pendulum. Glass intact but probably not original. Dial heavily rubbed; signature is almost completely gone. Case with areas of lifting brass inlay, cracks to the shell and a few small repairs. Several mounts loose. Heavy glue residue on case above dial, probably where a mount once was but is now lost. Bracket and clock are sturdy enough for use together and sturdy enough to be shipped. Additional photos 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.
