Description
Ansonia Clock Co. “La Layon”, ca. 1904. A beautiful 14.5-inch porcelain case in New Art Blue with modest loss of gilding. There are hand-painted roses on the front below the dial and on top, and a beveled flat glass in the sash. The two-part porcelain dial is signed, and the Ansonia logo is in the center dial; there are some hairlines in the outer dial. The visible escapement has steel pallets. The signed 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is running and striking on a steel bell. A very nice example. $300–$600.
