Amended condition report - The casework is generally in good condition, but there are some patches of wear and scuffing. The gilt paintwork is bright and may be later. The finish to the lacquer is glossy, almost like a re-varnished finish. The seatboard has been replaced and has been packed slightly to either side, indicating that the movement may have been 'married' to the case. There is a winder, pendulum and a pair of weights present.
