Finial is very loose and the left pendant has been off and crudely reattached; rubbing to gilt throughout, heavy in places, as well as pitting throughout; runs when wound and strikes but no guarantees of working order; mounts generally loose; one garniture with wobble on a flat surface, the other with loose central column; similar surface wear to these as to the clock, overall would benefit from sympathetic surface reconditioning, enamel generally intact
