Appearing in overall fairly good and stable condition. Gilt bronze is bright and fairly even throughout with a few worn areas and spots of oxidization. The back of the case with a duller finish. Some elements are loose and would benefit from tightening. One of the star ornaments on the proper left side is detached. The clock is lacking an hour hand as well as a pendulum. There is a winding key present and both chambers can be wound and the bell strikes. The dial has a few flake chips around the edges where the II and X numerals appear and one minor hairline crack at the top. The clock has not been tested for time keeping accuracy or duration and has not been examined by an horologist. Additional images are available upon request.
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.
