Condition:
Looks to be in good condition probably having been restored some years ago, case is still of a rich mid brown tone, brass work slightly matted with some oxidisation spots, dial looks to have been cleaned relatively recently, front door has a working key for the lock, signs of old small repairs to the veneers at the sides, still with some old cracking showing, similarly the case to the back door which is a little loose on its top hinge but does have a working key, movement looks complete but not tested for timekeeping, comes with probably a replacement pendulum and later key.
