Appearing in overall fairly good and ready to place condition. The brass inlay is lifting and missing in several areas. One semi circular section of inlay from the interior of the clock is detached but present and could be reattached. Small cracks and areas of repair to the tortoiseshell visible. Gilt bronze is attractive and bright throughout. The dial is a bit loose in the case and would benefit from reinforcement. The glass panel on the left side of the case is loose but intact. The glass cover for the dial has an approximate one inch crack at the bottom (concealed by the gilt mounts). Both chambers take a wind. The hands can be manually advanced but the clock does not chime. Not tested for time keeping, duration, or accuracy and not 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.
