Condition Report
Dial is two-piece, previously square (so probably marriage of dial and case). Split to arch over medallion. Movement looks seized, needs an overhaul. Cheeks packed/blocked to seatboard.
Case roof probably later. Trunk door mouldings regilded; some edge losses. Base may be shortened, plinth probably later. Sold with two weights plus pendulum. Pendulum lacks feather so currently not able to be attached.
