Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate but the clock is more impressive in reality. Good overall condition despite the inevitable dents, marks and surface scratches due to age and use. The gilding is very slightly rubbed and tarnished. There are minute chips to the edges. The back of one column has been restored (approx. 5 x 2 cm.). The biscuit: there are some minute chips to some flowers. Please note that, as stated in the catalogue, the Sèvres mark under the group is spurious. Please note that we do not guarantee that the mechanism is in working order, it has to be checked by a professional clock restorer.
