Condition report:
The gilt brass case shows surface oxidation, minor pitting, and wear consistent with age. The bow held by the cherub finial has a crude wire replacement for the original string. Scratches and scuffing are visible on the rear access door. The interior movement shows some surface grime and oxidation. The enamel dial is generally intact with a small smudge near the center. The mechanical functionality is untested; the movement appears complete with pendulum and key.
