拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

Overall good condition, though not in working order. One key and pendulum. The associated base with a section of ormolu molding lacking at the top right side. Several mounts loose. The dial cover and back lacking. The horn off, but retained for reattachment. The gilding with light wear overall, scattered areas of tarnish and verdigris. The pierced grates at the center of each side of a later date. The marble with 'nibbling' to edges, scattered nicks and chips and staining, all consistent with age and use. Please kindly note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks.
