Estimate £600-800

Overall a little dusty but otherwise looks to be honest and untouched, mid to light brown mahogany tone, darker at the top and with some ebonised details, top finial slightly bent out of place, two slim cracks running in to each side of the dial through the main case, dial looks a little rubbed, hands probably original, two sections of brass stringing missing from the lower part of the front of the case, side handles and pierced brass grills with a dull bronze finish, silk lining to side panels very tired, key missing for the lock that holds the bezel in position but still fits tightly, no key for the back door which has very minor losses around the edges, movement looks to be in good condition, complete but not tested for timekeeping, comes with an adjustable pendulum but no keys. Movement is going but not tested for timekeeping but possibly the movement is associated to the case, please see our photographs of how the seat board is supported.
Hole in the lower right side holding bracket does hold the pendulum.
