£2,000-3,000

Condition:
Looks to be an honest untouched condition, patination on the bronze is a dark chocolate colour with some light rubbing at the extremities, black numerals to the dial are rubbed and hands are bent out of shape, some oxidisation spotting to the gilding of the case and some rubbing around the feet, hinge to backdoor is at 7 o’clock but it does shot, movement has a plate just running over the beginning of the makers name, no pendulum or key, looks to be complete but not tested for timekeeping
