Condition
This piece bears a dust buildup throughout. The top clock face is a little loose in it's housing. It sustains a 0.5" crack to the gilt metal to the right of the clock face (in foliate decor). The face is in very good condition with only slight rubbing to the gilt accents. The enameled medallion below exhibits slight wear to the gilt, but is in overall very good condition. This can be said for all of the painted porcelain panels. The back glass panel enclosing the clock mechanism is lacking one screw for closure. For it's age, this clock is in very good condition.
