The springs were inspected and cleaned and re-lubricated. The cast iron base which had lost muck of its original gold finish was re- coloured to comply with the client’s wishes.  The pins on the barrel were checked and found to be in good order, the box having been rarely used. The movement was assembled and tested. The case was cleaned slightly preserving the original finish. and finished with wax polish.. The base was treated for worm infestation.
