Lot 7

It is uncertain as to whether the movement is original to the case: there are gaps around the edges of the movement where light can be seen; the movement would originally have been screwed in place within the case, but it has actually been fixed in place with four nails at a later date and does not sit perfectly within the case; the movement 'ticks over' but is somewhat behind the beat, so a full service is recommended; evidence of previous wood worm activity primarily in the front right and back right column of the hood and in other isolated areas, together with restoration to the lower section of the back left column of the hood; losses and wear to the case throughout consistent with age and use over time.
