Antique American Clocks
Ansonia "Monarch", ca. 1880.
A popular Ansonia shelf clock with a very fancy cast brass
dial surround and elaborate carvings.
It stands 24 inches tall in walnut.
The case is in good condition with a few nicks
and scratches.
The urn finial is missing the topmost piece, and the side arms may be replacements; the door glass is a proper
replacement.
The dial is painted and signed; the 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running and striking on a nickel bell and
there is a fancy two-barrel pendulum and a signed beat scale.
Compartment in the bottom front to store the key.
example; these still sell for upwards of $300.
