height 81cm
£400-600

Condition:
Figure at the top may be a later replacement, the quality of the ormolu is not quite that of the rest of the case, the hands looks particularly crude, main body of the case has numerous small losses to the boullework many of which have been infilled with later colouring, front door opens with a push button looks like at one time it may have had a key, movement is incomplete with a loose countwheel and what may well be an associated brass pendulum.
