Antique American Clocks
Ansonia "Regent",
An impressive, silvered case with extensive ornamentation
and designs.
The 19.5-inch case has been refinished but you can see the original silver finish on the four finials, top-piece,
and four post bases; the top piece differs slightly from the catalog illustration (Ly,
Ansonia Clocks & Watches
, page 399).
The body of the clock case has brass plates behind the silver designs.
The dial is also silver, behind a thick beveled glass
with a chip inside bottom.
The signed 8-day time and half-hour strike movement is running and striking on a cathedral gong;
there are steel pallets on the outside escapement.
This clock originally came with two matching candelabra.
Carroll Horton
sold this clock to the consignor in 2013 for $1007.
$750-$1000.
