Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts

Clock in decent, stable condition. Exterior to hood and case with even patina, having light too moderate surface wear (nicks and scratches) consistent with age and handling. Some worming to case. Base completely reconstructed. Glass to dial intact, dial intact as well but with a dent and over painting near the VIII and some chips near the signature. The carved oval element under the dial with a split. Works appear mostly complete but with only one (of two) weights, pendulum and crank present. Clock attempts to run but stops shortly after starting. Unsure as to bell, that is the weight and wire that is missing. Additional images 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.
