Dimensions16" high x 9 3/4" wide x 6" deep Date 1800  George III Antiques Material Ebonised Origin English Condition The movement is in working order but would benefit greatly from a complete overhaul and some corrective work to the motion work as it may mis-mesh. The dial is very good and retains its original paint and showing expected signs of ageing. The case is excellent and both locks are present and working. The bezel shows signs of poor hinge repair at some point in the past, however, its seems to be stucturally sound. A price and timescale for any work required by the purchaser can be advised upon enquiry. Item code as1197a025 / AA 14436 Status For Sale
