Condition

Illustration is not completely accurate. Green areas around the dial or blue areas (the sphinx frieze) seems too dark on the image, whereas they are quite vivid in reality; the clock is really all-coloured. As visible on the image, there are hairline cracks to the glass on both upper corners. Otherwise, good condition overall. Mechanism is still inside, but we do not guarantee it still works. Hands need to be refixed. Very decorative.
