Condition
In "as found" condition. The two "Father Time" figures on each side of the hood are both missing their staffs. There is dryness along the lower portions of the feet. A small add-on piece of wood at the upper right corner of the backboard is off but present. The fabric is lacking. The movement is missing its second hand. Minor wear and chips to the painted moon dial. The hanging racks for the tubes were not installed upon receipt. We installed them for the photos, and they may need to be adjusted for exact placement. Lacking a winding key. The cable for the center weight is broken. Mild tarnishing to the three weights and pendulum. We are uncertain as to the overall running condition.
