Description
The marble frame is firm and unbroken, however several pieces of ormolu are missing: sunburst at top, acanthus drop either side, and one rosette, right side; other trims are loose. The fancy porcelain dial is perfect (faded signature), and retains original chased hands. The well made Marti movement is dirty; counter balance pendulum is incorrect. Note this clock has knife-edge suspension, and the brilliant ring is designed to swing from side to side as the clock runs. Potential for someone who can do the castings; would be $4000 if complete. Height 17'
