More Information

We have not been able to get this clock into full working order as the pendulum suspension is broken, the striking train appears to work okay but the going train appears to be seized, the general condition of the marble case is reasonable with only minor edge chips, there has been significant rubbing and wear to the robed figure. See images for guidance, personal viewing always advised where possible.
