Provenance: Private collection Guernsey

Condition:
Overall in good untouched condition, lacquer work to the case good but some old cracks running through it, notably one thin hairline crack running at the foot below the dial and a vertical split running down the right side of the box base, ormolu a little matted and slightly rubbed with dust and dirt in the crevices, movement looks complete but not tested for timekeeping.
