A Meissen Porcelain Mantel Clock

19th Century

Height 18 inches.

Property from a Private Collector, Chicago, Illinois

Overall attractive condition but very dusty / dirty patina. Small, minor glue repairs to the foot of the putto with the dolphin. Scattered small, minor chips to edges of flowers and leaves throughout. Missing tips of wheat from the front putto's sheaf. The bird on the top putto's hand may have been glued back on, as there is a small amount of glue residue under the bird. The left side wing tip may have been repaired. No other readily visible repairs. With key and pendulum. The clock winds (sluggishly) but does not seem to be running. The back door is stuck closed and cannot be opened without heavier force than we are willing to try.

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.
