All three weights are present but have some denting to the brass coverings.The case is in good overall condition, the crest is contemporary with the case but probably started life on a different clock. Faults are otherwise generally limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear and some of the finishes are a little uneven.Clock has pendulum, three weights and a winder.
