Important: The age of the piece is determined approximately. Any statements by me as to the authenticity, attribution, description, date, age, provenance, title, or condition of the work constitute my judgment and opinion only.
Antique clocks are not new clocks! A centenary clock may not be perfect, don't expect it to look like new. Please review carefully the photographs that are part of the description and which best represent the item's condition. Color may vary slightly depending on screen settings and minor surface scratches.
NOTE: Although the clock is internally complete and the movement has been serviced, I cannot guarantee that an antique clock will perform flawlessly upon delivery to you. The clock is not being sold as a time-measuring device but as a unique antique artifact of unrivaled beauty as an interior decorative item.
Attention! For the purpose of safe transportation, the goods are delivered partially disassembled. You will need to assemble it by yourself (screws included). When packing the clocks, I remove the movement and the pendulum and pack them in a separate box. You will have to put the mechanism in place yourself and hang the pendulum. Please remember this.
Chairish sells clocks only with display as the intended use. The mechanical elements are not guaranteed to be in working order by Chairish. less
