Condition
Good condition for regulateurs of this age including but not limited to normal age cracks on ebony veneers which are thick veneers, some inactive worming on ebonized wood, restorations, re-gilding, and expected surface buildup. This clock case was probably restored towards end of 20th century and the brass clockworks are polished and oiled. Simpson Galleries does not guarantee any timepiece or clock mechanism.
