Status: Sold

Ansonia Clock Company of New York manufactured this mantel clock, housed in a carved walnut case with a scrolled crest, decorative rosette, and a shaped stepped base. The clock has a white dial signed "Manufactured by the Ansonia Clock Co., New York, United States of America," with black Roman numerals set within a brass bezel, and a glass door featuring a reverse-painted and etched design of ferns and floral motif. The case interior houses a brass mercury-style pendulum, and the back panel retains the original paper label noting the company's Brooklyn, New York factory and its Prize Medal awarded at the 1878 Paris Exposition. A brass winding key is included with the clock and turns appropriately. The movement chimes on the hour and is in very good condition. The case shows scattered surface wear, foxing to the paper label, and light tarnishing to the brass bezel consistent with its age, though the carved crest, glass panel, movement, and pendulum all remain present, intact and in good condition. Dimensions: 13 1/2"W X 21"H
