Condition Report
The case has replacement planted on a panel on the plinth The hood door has some cracking across the arch section.
The turned wood finials are later replacements.
The movement seems in fair order and is clean
The striking hammer has been extended to chime on a later coil gong.
The pendulum rod has a rather strange pivot arrangement that I can explain. see images
The bottom board I think is later and is broken
The panel that is planted on the plinth is unfortunately not hiding the original panel it is a replacement.
