Condition

Overall in excellent condition. The clock appears in original condition. With a minor seam separation to the proper left side of the clock at the midpoint of the face, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The brass legs show some minor discoloration consistent with the natural aging process of the material. The clock movements have not been checked by Sotheby’s and we do not guarantee its functionality.
