Antique American Clocks January 2022
122. $350
Ansonia Clock Co. “Music and Poetry” figural, ca. 1894. This nicely restored double figural
stands 20.5 inches tall and 23 inches wide. It was originally available in Japanese Bronze or Silver, as found here. Everything
but the dial has been refinished, including the base. The elaborate dial with an outside escapement shows some chips and repairs
but looks good; it sits behind a thick beveled glass. The clock is not mounted to the base; the 8-day time-and-strike
movement is signed but not running and will need attention. This is a popular figural and there are many sales on LiveAuctioneers;
recent prices vary widely ($300-$500) based on condition. $350-$900.
