Provenance:

Saxton House Gallery, Gloucestershire, May 10th, 1993 (copy of invoice)

Appearing in overall fair and stable condition. All parts are present. Scattered age splits in the veneer of the case throughout. There is a case key, but the lock does not properly engage and the door drifts open slightly. There is not a door on the front of the hood, so it must be removed entirely to wind the clock. The clock strikes on the hour when hands are manually advanced, and both chambers take a wind. Has not been examined by an horologist. 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.
