Estimate £700-900

Case retaining a matted gilt finish but for the areas where it has been rubbed, such as the top of the case, edges of the columns and around the plinth. Enamel dial with some tiny dirt specks and signature as described is feint. Side plaques with some very light scuffing to the gilt work but essentially in good order. Escapement looks original, movement going with repeat working in sync. Travelling case very scuffed and worn, it has lost its strap and has a glass panel but no leather panel. Key is present.
