Both trains will wind and the escapement will beat for a second or two before stopping hence appears to be sticking. The strike train will run through and keep striking until spring has wound down suggesting that the gathering pallet/rack is worn. The dial appears free from visible damage. The case has been regilded and is generally presentable there is some historic wear to the top panel causing the high relief scrolls to become 'holed' in few places with solder infill repairs also evident. The front glass also has a scratch and the base panel has some slight denting otherwise case is generally in good overall condition.The Clock has a winding key.
