Condition:

The clock is in a very good condition. In places the gilding is minimally rubbed. The pendulum is missing. The neck of the lamb shows a production related crack. On the back of the young man, several holes for mounting can be seen, presumably an application is missing here. The chapter ring has a chip in the upper part. During in house testing, the timepiece was fully functional; no guarantee on long term precision and regularity. The overall dimensions measure 66 x 40 x 20 cm.
