This clock presents well overall.
The ormolu with a bright tone, with only minor traces of surface wear and tarnish; the reverse with very small localised areas of verdigris.
The patinated-bronze figure with light rubbing to the high points.
The porcelain plaques with some surface staining which could benefit from a gentle cleaning. The plaque to the lower right corner with a vertical crack.
The dial with some staining, the enamel with a chipped loss above '5' minutes and a shallow chip by the right winding hole, there is a small area of restoration around the '8'.
The pendulum numbered '346'. The key lacking. Christie's recommends that the movement is cleaned and serviced to bring into full working condition. Please note Christie's do not guarantee the working condition, duration or timekeeping of clocks offered for sale.
