Overall wear, marks and scratches. Some cracks to the dial and losses, including around the winding holes. The door is not quite alligned. The face requires pins. Losses to the boulle work in places. Lifting of brass in places. Old repairs, damage and areas have been repainted throughout. The pendulum is later, there is an old key, but we do not know if it is original. It is currently working/ticking, but we cannot guarantee that it is working, if you were to purchase this lot, we would reccomend having it serviced.
