D'ÉPOQUE NAPOLÉON III, VERS 1850

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The website illustrations are accurate.
There are the inevitable minor dents, marks, scratches and rubbing consistent with age and use.
The front glass panel doesn't fit well probably due to a restoration to the left side.
Gilding : with minor signs of tarnishing especially to the bracket.
One brass element is partly detached to the left side.
The figure of the angel to the top is slightly loose.
Please note that this condition report has been written from a work of art and not a time-measuring object point of view. Therefore this lot has to be checked by a professional clock-maker.
