DateLate 19th Century : 1880 Dimensions17" wide and high x 6" deep. ConditionThe movement is overhauled but not restored therefore, carries a full guarantee - it has been cleaned, had wear removed, new line fitted and the escapement is set correctly. The dial is restored well and the bezel is good with a pleasing look of age to it as does the case. The case has been historically repaired and shows signs of wear, a crack to the surround (see photograph) and shrinkage however, the French polished surface is original and of excellent colour and patina which serves well to show its antiquity - it would be a great shame to restore it and lose the original finish. None of the carving appears to be damaged or missing. The case is sound and over all, this is a good, original wall timepiece.
