Condition Report
In really excellent if sleeply condition. We've not touched it since acquiring-it. The going-train line has snapped (hence only one weight shown) but the other weight and pully are present & original. The movement will therefore benefit from a clean and service whilst it is being re-strung. I don't anticipate many problems. It is totally original which is the most important thing. There is a 4cm long piece of ebonised moulding missing from the left hand side rear. Easy to replace. No sign of worm damage.

Cost of Restoration
Overhaul movement and provide 12 mths warranty £200
Local delivery & set-up £45
