05.17.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 4330: From a visual physical examination, the ormolu exhibits typical light mellowing and minor gilt wear, as well as minor spotting concentrated at the base, minor restoration to garland held by female figure, male figure lacking wreath, there are typical minor abrasions to the enameled face commensurate with rubs from the minute and hour hands, functionally, the striker and bell currently operate, the movement is also operational at this time, but is lacking pendulum to perform a final assessment, the movement is currently clean, and both winding springs are in good condition
