Description
Other than the fact the hood got dropped at some point and the person doing the gluing didn't realize the front glass was supposed to slide up for winding.this is really an exceptional clock, with pendulum / crown-verge escapement, skeletonized front plate, all markers intact. The key drawer is missing, also the transition "throat board", but these are logical and easy for any cabinet maker to do. The front plate, in addition to being tastefully cut out, is engraved with flowers and leaves in a very intricate way. The same pattern is repeated on the brass side frets of the case. The clock has not run for some time (will tick but needs cleaning), and is certain to please the collector of quality Japanese items. Height 26" (66 cm)
