Condition

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate despite being too bright. The gilding is very slightly rubbed and tarnished. The indian's bow needs to be restaured. Some leaves ofthe palm tree are missing. There is an accident to the enamel dial around I, the pendulum is missing. Interesting subject and nice gilding. Please note that we do not guarantee the mechanism is in working order.
