Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

The door of the clock trunk and the lower panel are a lighter oak.

There is a split to the lower panel, some small chips and losses to the trunk, evidence of old worm to the back, some restorations to the back panels. Restorations to the hood and the finials are likely later additions.

The movement has a tendency to lean forward, the previous vendor had it tied to the back board. The dial is worn, the makers name and numerals faint, lacking hands to the subsidiary dial, the hands of the main dial are bent, there are some chips to the decoration.
