Antique American Clocks
Ansonia Clock Co. "Antique Hanging", ca. 1904.
Perhaps Ansonia's most fabulously decorated
large clock, the Antique Hanging is 47 inches tall, this one in fumed oak with a smokey look.
The brass is all original and
hasn't been polished or refinished; all the pieces are there.
The brass repoussé dial has white porcelain cartouche numbers;
I did not remove it because it is held in with round-head tacks.
The spiral brass weights are original.
The previous owner
tells me the pendulum bob and stick are reproductions, but I can't tell, as the bob is an exact replica of the original metal bob.
The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running easily and striking on the hours and half-hours.
This is easily the nicest Antique
Hanging I have seen.
The lowest price I can find on LiveAuctioneers for this model is $2400 in 2015; the most recent sale was
at Schmidt's Antiques in 2018 for $3250.
$2500-$4500.
