Condition: the movement is fully wound and is not running; it is striking. It appears to be mechanically complete and sound, but has stood idle a long time and needs a cleaning. Lever platform is original. The left ivory panel has a long vertical crack, and the beveled glass over it has been replaced, balance of glass is original; other panes have some discoloration. Clock comes with its original worn Tiffany case(less strap), and with its winding key. Quality of the hand painting on paper thin ivory is outstanding. The brass case suffered pitting from moisture and has been polished and heavily lacquered. Height 7 inches
