Condition Report
Condition of the clock is good to fair. There is a loss towards the moulding on the left hand finial. Also, a historic split to the back right hand side of the cornice. Some minor splits to the face of the clock. Glue residue present on the glass panel on the left hand side of the clock and general wear throughout, consistent with age. Mechanism looks generally sound, however, there is no key to allow for access to keyholes and as a result we are unable to wind the clock.
