Condition Report

In general the beveled glass panels are good, however the rear door glass has a small interior chip to the bottom right corner.

Visual inspection would suggest the movement is in good order, and is currently working.

The mercury level of the pendulum is good. The gong gives a dull thud sound and will require tightening.

All enamel seems intact

There is a very small chip to the onyx on the top front right corner. A further small chip to the onyx to the left of the front right brass foot. Small nibbles to the onyx around the edges of the base. See online images for chips etc.
