Antique American Clocks
Ansonia Clock Co. "Don Juan", ca. 1894.
A not-quite-monumental-sized figural, 19.5 inches
across and 21 inches tall.
The metalwork has been professionally refinished in an antique gold with a lacquer-like finish.
The black lacquer metal base is without blemishes and the gilt incising is still evident.
The porcelain dial is perfect; the
open escapement has steel pallets.
The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed and running and striking on the hours and half-hours.
You can find this clock listed on page 149 of Ly's book
Ansonia Clocks & Watches
This model typically sells for $300-$600
in good, refinished condition.
