Condition:
Overall looks to be in honest untouched condition, ormolu remains bright but does have some oxidisation spots scattered throughout and a little rubbing to the raised extremities, the spear held by the crowned figure has been repaired half way along, dial with some speckling, movement looks complete but not tested for timekeeping, marble plinth with minor nicking around the edges, comes with a pendulum and associated key. A notch significantly present in the shield would suggest contemporary to piece.
