Condition
1/12/23 4:25pm - In my opinion regarding: LOT – 1015: As described, the back viewing panel is intact with multiple fractures, I also note some restoration to the left marble finial and a possible restoration to the central marble urn, both top finials are turned slightly askew from each other at the moment, the back legs are lightly bent at an angle from the weight, the dore bronze displays some inherent pitting, typical patination, and light surface wear. Regarding operational status: I note the winding spring is good for time & strike, the chime seems to work, although hammer arm has been bent to dampen the sound, clock starts, beat sounds good, then stops after less than one minute.
