Description

Ansonia Clock Co. “Music” figural, ca. 1894. A large (21.5-inch tall, 19.5-inch wide) figural on a tiered cast iron base, with everything in its original finish and in remarkable condition. There are no missing pieces; the dial glass is beveled, the dial porcelain, unsigned, in perfect condition with a polished bezel and ornate gold hands, as shown in the catalog illustration (Ly, Ansonia Clocks & Watches, page 158). The 8-day, time-and-strike Ansonia movement is running and striking on a cathedral gong. The most recent sale of this model, in similar condition, was at Schmitt’s Antiques in 2020 for $400. $275–$400.
