Estimate £300-500

Overall very good clean condition, appears to have been restored within the past 10 years or so, top strip running across the top of the hood looks like it might be a later replacement, colour is lighter than elsewhere, dial has clearly been cleaned and restored to good effect, movement equally in good clean restored condition, extreme top left corner of trunk door missing, trunk door is locked but apparently no key present, box base probably with later timbers, a horizontal split running through the middle and certainly a later plinth foot, comes with brass capped lead pendulum and pair of lead weights, overall looks to be all original with the exceptions to the mentioned parts of the case.
