Important: Antique clocks are not new clocks!
Any and all statements by me as to the authenticity, attribution, description, date, age, provenance, title, or condition of the work constitute my judgment and opinion only.
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 represents the condition of the item. Color may vary slightly depending on screen settings and minor surface scratches.
All antique clocks after transport, no matter how well they have been inspected or maintained, may need to be individually tweaked, tweaked, and tuned in time when you receive them. Better to have an experienced clockmaker do it for you. I do not guarantee that the clock will work after delivery.
NOTE: Although the clock is internally complete, in working order, and the movement has been serviced, 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.
Chairish sells electronic items only with the display as the intended use. The electronic elements are not guaranteed to be in working order by Chairish. less
