Ansonia “Florentine No. 4”, ca. 1889.  Called a ‘plush’ clock, covered in red velveteen, 13 inches high.  The velveteen is not new, but not likely original either.  This model is shown on page 566 of Ly’s book on Ansonia clocks.  There is a two-piece signed porcelain dial with some cracks and losses behind a beveled glass.  Dull gold ornamentation on the side columns and front.  The embossed 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed and dated 1889; it is running strongly and striking on the hours and half-hours.  This clock sold at Harris in 2013 for $200.  $100-$200.
