Condition Report
Overall the clock is in good structural and cosmetic condition. There are a few small scuffs and knocks to the case and wear around the key holes. Movement appears to tick and strike when wound and doesn't appear to be overwound. Repeat is functional at time of condition report. The musical chime is functional but not harmonious and the bells are likely to need adjusting. Strike/silent functional at time of condition report. Please see additional images for reference.

Buying a pre-loved, antique, or vintage item not only provides you with unique style and value for money but it also helps to reduce landfill, and the annual emissions of an antique or vintage piece can be as little as one sixteenth of those of its new equivalent!
