Condition Report: Movement is in working condition and is complete and all original however a clean/service will be required. The globe is in sound original unrestored condition with overall moderate browning to a caramel colour. The axis is a little off-centre with regards to the hour ring causing the globe to rub on the ring leaving marks/light scuffing to the varnish.

The brasswork is generally in original unrestored condition with overall oxidation to the finish. The solar sphere is seized on its thread.Timepiece does not come with a winding key.
