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. 

Can I return my clock if I don’t like it?

Absolutely!  Save your packing and box, you have 30 days from receipt to return it for a full refund if you are unhappy.  If the clock is not as described, or I missed something important and that is not evident from the pictures, I will refund your shipping costs (both ways) as well.  Find another auction company that does that!
