Condition report

Movement appears complete and original however would benefit from a clean and overhaul. Ddial appears undamaged but is dirty. The case has a chip/loss to the extreme right hand scroll otherwise is in very good condition with only very light gilt wear, as well as some surface wear to green ground where clock sits in the base. Clock comes with pendulum but no winding key.
