Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean
and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The
walnut veneer has a nice polish and there is just a slight mark to the right
hand shoulder.
The dial is also in excellent condition with no damage. Complete a suitable key. No setting up required.
About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free. |
