Condition Report
Dial - generally very good but a few dark spots to matted centre. Movement - has been cleaned and overhauled. Sometimes movements this early are 'birdcage' type and it is possible that a later C18th movement has been pinned to an early dial. Case - Cornice appears to be of later date. Some trunk door shrinkage (gapping to left edge). Hinges appear to be period but have blacks behind them raising them off the trunk surface. Plinth likely to be later. Surface is of uneven colour and patination.
