Provenance:

Accession no. 1973.30.

In overall fine and stable condition. Retaining a fairly even, early refinished patina and color throughout. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Saddleboard appears to be original to the case, though later holes were added to properly secure. Rear foot facings and bottom board are replaced. Finial plinths are replaced. Takes a wind and chimes (though not presently on the correct hour, so hands will need to be adjusted). The escapement does not seem to want to advance at present. With two weights, pendulum, and two case keys. Finial plinths are replaced. We cannot guarantee that this clock will function properly and it will likely require the attention of an horologist for it to run properly.

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.
