Ansonia Clock Co. unknown figural, ca. 1890. The movement is marked Ansonia but I cannot find this model in Ly’s book on Ansonia clocks. The ornamentation on the front of
the base is Ansonia and the clock is in an Ansonia style, but lacks a top decorative urn when compared to Ansonia figural illustrations. I can’t identify the statue of the woman but some of the accoutrements suggest that she is a queen. Both the statue and the
clock cannister have been repainted in slightly different golds. It is 11 inches tall and 17 inches wide; the base is metal. The dial glass is flat and beveled, the dial is painted with considerable losses, the hands are Ansonia, and there is a visible escapement. The signed movement will run only briefly and will probably need attention; it does strike on the hour and half-hour. I had
to provide the pendulum and I am not sure it is correct. $50–$100.
