Condition - please read carefully
Pre-owned vintage item in good display condition for its age, with the following points to note:
- One of the two finials (the small decorative caps on top of the case) is broken off and missing. The remaining right-hand finial is present and intact. Please see photos.
- Scratches, small paint losses and rub-through on the gold-painted areas, especially the top hood, the base and the moldings. Some paint specks and marks are visible on the plastic surfaces.
- The winding key is NOT original - it is a replacement key supplied for winding.
- The clock was wound and ran during a brief test only. Because of its age we cannot guarantee accurate timekeeping or long-term operation. It may require servicing/adjustment, and we recommend it be considered primarily as a decorative / collector's display piece.
- The original box shows shelf wear: scuffs, edge rubs, creasing and a small split at one corner.
Please review all photos, as they form part of the condition description.
