Hello Fellow Collectors.
We would like to share with you one of our Ansonia Figural Clocks named "Poetry".
It is from circa 1894 and has an original 8-day Time and Strike Ansonia Movement with an embossed back plate and open escapement.
The Porcelain Enamel dial is in excellent condition with no damage.
At some point in its history it was artistically refinished in a simulated bronze color with gold accents. The "floor" that the woman reading poetry is standing on has little flaws in the black enamel finish that actually give it a texture and appearance of some type of stone or tiled flooring. The entire clock is being protected by several coats of a quality carnuba wax and there is no evidence of rust or corrosion on the base with the exception of a little green "patina" on some brass parts of the dial, which can be seen in the photo above.
Happy collecting and thank you for stopping by.
Fabulous antique Ansonia clock, the reflective pose of the lady reading poetry as well as the detail in the gold accents are just gorgeous, really love it

Hi Scott,
Thank you for your kind words. You've been busy here sharing and helping folks longer and more consistently than I have. It's always good to see you around.
Happy holidays to you and yours and stay safe as well. I've got a feeling that the Vaccines will be on the black market before they get to us. :(
Best regards,
Bruce
